Citations in the corpus

• Coal, Climate Justice, and the Cultural Politics of Energy Transition (2019, background): “…an ongoing process by which former commons are incorporated into circuits of capital accumulation, and is typical of large-scale mining operations where experiences of enclosure and displacement often mirror colonial patterns of exploitation (Bebbington et al. 2008; Gudynas 2013; Harvey 2003).”
• Spaces of Extraction, Metropolitan Explosions: Planetary Urbanization and the Commodity Boom in Latin America (2016, background): “Furthermore, because of its manifold negative impacts, extraction projects elicit protest and revolt from communities and activists alike (Bebbington et al., 2008b), making armed private security, militarization and violence the background of these emerging operational landscapes.”
• Aggravating the Resource Curse: Decentralisation, Mining and Conflict in Peru (2011, background): “(2) Local opposition can succeed when coordinated with national and international actors (Bebbington et al., 2008b; Paredes, 2008).”
• ‘Everyone Now is Concentrating on the Mining’: Drivers and Implications of Rural Economic Transition in the Eastern Region of Ghana (2013, background): “…to locally as galamsey (literally, ‘gather them and sell’) – has been misinterpreted as being a form of resistance akin to the galvanised community opposition that has surfaced in Latin America over the expansion of foreign financed large-scale mining activity (see Bebbington et al., 2008).”
• Mission impossible?: Adopting a CSR-based business model for extractive industries in developing countries (2012, background): “Some protests have been met with violent suppression by police and security forces as in Guatemala, Peru, Nigeria and Indonesia (Haarstad and Floysand, 2007; Bebbington et al., 2008; Obi, 2010).”
