The responsible cobalt sourcing assemblage
Bandits’ and machete gangs
Framing spaces as (il)legitimate
As large-scale mining (LSM) companies and other commercial actors capitalise on a demand boom for Congolese cobalt, they have framed artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) spaces as problematic and illegitimate to make themselves appear “cleaner” than locally legitimate artisanal mining. Firms have emphasised the negative facets of artisanally mined cobalt, characterising their own production as “clean” and problem free. Capitalist actors’ framin…
“Remember the women of Osiri”
In this paper, we explore women’s livelihoods and the operation of gender norms and structures in the Osiri artisanal gold mining area in western Kenya. While “women” and “gender” are seen as increasingly important to policy frameworks for developing mineral resources on the African continent, understandings of women’s roles in artisanal and small-scale mining, and of the importance of gender in structuring those livelihoods, remain limited. Draw…
Artisanal copper mining and conflict at the intersection of property rights and corporate strategies in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Facets of Power
Facets of Power aims to provide multiple strands

Institutional change is messy and unlikely to be as simple as a government setting aside a concession for a mining company. The persistence of contestation around mining sites is a sign that overlapping claims to rights over resources, the emergence and reconfiguration of coalitions arou…
