Undermining Resistance, the Governance of Participation by Multinational Mining Corporations

Lian Sinclair's "Undermining Resistance" offers a critical political economy analysis of extractive accumulation in Indonesia's mining sector.

The book examines how multinational corporations utilize participatory mechanisms to manage and mitigate resistance from local communities.

Sinclair's research highlights the complex interplay between local social relations, transnational activism, and global governance structures.

The study reveals how corporate social responsibility initiatives and community development programs can be used to reshape social relations and facilitate extractive activities.

Ultimately, the book challenges conventional understandings of corporate social responsibility and participation in the context of resource extraction.
