Social License to Operate (SLO)
This paper contends that while Social License to Operate (SLO) emphasizes the importance of community inputs in project approval, in fact, it is a private governance scheme that accords only superficial importance to the engagement process. Focusing on the uranium mining industry in Saskatchewan, Canada, and drawing on insights from interviews with industry and non-industry stakeholders, this research identifies various impediments that preclude …
Discipline and Punish
La violence et la répression exercées à l’encontre des militantes des droits du sol et de l’environnement qui s’opposent au développement de l’industrie de l’extraction (un groupe classé par les Nations Unies comme défenseurs des droits de la personne) ont été bien documentées par plusieurs organismes non gouvernementaux œuvrant dans le domaine. Malgré leur importance équivalente, des formes indirectes de violence touchant ces mêmes défenseurs, a…
Human and Environmental Justice in Guatemala
This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to the struggle for justice and human rights in the aftermath of armed conflict, and in the context of impunity. Topics include the justice system, foreign mining companies and the environment, democratic transition and cultural responses to the struggle for justice.
Indigenous women’s anti-mining activism
Focusing on the struggle against the Fenix mine in El Estor Guatemala, this article argues that women are disproportionately affected by resource development; and that women’s activism against mining is also gendered, in the sense that they are often distinct from men’s strategies and are rooted in women’s experiences as women, and as indigenous women within a particular socioeconomic and historical context. We draw on original data gathered from…
Mining, Taxes, and Development in Guatemala
The objective of this article is to investigate the contributions, in terms of taxes and royalties, of Goldcorp's Marlin mine to the Guatemalan state and to the host communities. The article also seeks to assess the potential of these contributions to strengthen local and national government capacities and enhance national development
Evaluating the effectiveness of the anti-mining movement in Guatemala
The objective of this article is to investigate why the resistance to the Marlin mine in Guatemala has been unsuccessful in terms of having any of its demands met by the state or the mining company. Guided by the literature on social movement theory, the analysis focuses on two key themes, the context or political opportunities and message framing, to illustrate the challenges confronting the resistance. With respect to the context, the analysis …
From Revolutionary Movements to Political Parties
This volume is a series of original articles analyzing eleven case studies (from Africa and the Americas) of revolutionary movements that have reconstituted themselves into formal political parties. T
The Helms-Burton Bill and Canada’s Cuba Policy
This analysis reassesses Canada’s Cuba policy by challenging the prevailing view that it has been largely independent of the US. The thesis posited here is that despite its opposition to the US’ Helms-Burton legislation (which seeks to increase economic pressures on the Cuban economy by penalising foreigners who conduct business with the island) the Canadian government has been pursuing a Cuba strategy which closely converges with the Americans, …

"The Lost Mission of Nicaragua's "Popular Church
Learning from Somalia
With the end of the Cold War, interstate conflict has significantly decreased, while intrastate conflict has soared. Unfortunately, the international system's conflict resolution mechanisms, such as international and regional organizations, have been devised primarily for settling the former rather than the latter. Recently, states have had to adapt these instruments to cope with the changing nature of conflicts. The United Nations peacekeeping m…
