"Social Movements Contesting Natural Resource Development presents numerous case studies exploring questions concerning rural social movements confronting land grabs, infrastructure corridors, mines, dams, resource processing plants, and pipelines. Natural resource development takes multiple forms such as deforestation and creation of plantations, dams, mines, pipelines, oil and gas drilling, fracking, many of which are driven by economic valuations, whist social and environmental effects are given limited consideration. In this volume authors discuss the emergence, process and outcomes of social movements with respect to these natural resource development projects, including examples of confrontation seeking to either block developments or promote alternative development approaches, such as agritourism. The examples taken from Africa, Asia, North America, Europe and Latin America demonstrate the diversity of struggles stimulated by natural resource development, including both immediate and longer-term effects, repertoires of action, political and cultural work. Taken together the case studies provide a rich overview of current movements engaged in resisting the neoliberal agenda of global resource exploitation. This book will be key reading for those interested in social movements, natural resource development, environmental policy, international development, rural development or global development. It will also be of interest to activists engaged in mobilizations stimulated by natural resource development projects"-- |
