Extractive Relations explores the nature of industrial power and
its role in shaping what we understand to be the global mining
sector. The authors examine issues at the forefront of contemporary
debates: corporate obligations in safeguarding the rights of people
displaced by mining, the recognition of community rights and
interests in supporting or opposing mining developments, the
handling of non-judicial grievances and workability of corporate
remedy systems, and the logic of community relations departments in
navigating these issues inside and outside of the typical modern
mining establishment.The authors develop a unique theoretical
approach that highlights the different types and uses of power in
these settings. This perspective is supported by the authors' own
sustained engagement with the mining sector over many years,
drawing on cases from over twenty countries. The analysis of these
issues from both 'inside' and 'outside' the sector is a key point
of differentiation. For readers seeking to understand how mining
companies interpret and interact with the communities and interests
around their operations, this book provides invaluable insight and
analysis.

China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is expected to be the
largest infrastructure development scheme of the twenty-first
century. There is escalating concern over BRI's potential
environmental impacts in Southeast Asia, a global biodiversity
hotspot and a focus area of BRI development. Case studies of
Indonesia, Myanmar, Lao PDR and Malaysia show that the success of
BRI in bringing about sustainable growth and opportunities depends
on the Chinese government and financiers, as well as the agencies
and governments involved when BRI investments take place. The
adoption of best environmental practices is critical in ensuring
that growth is sustainable and that bad environmental practices are
not locked in for decades to come.
