Finding the cracks: How do frontline officials maneuver state institutions to advance Indigenous rights to land and environment
This paper challenges the monolithic portrayal of the state as inherently ‘bad’ when it comes to implementation of Indigenous rights. Offering a comparative analysis of case studies from four continents we demonstrate examples of frontline state officials proactively advancing Indigenous rights to land and environment. Combining distinct literatures on institutional theory, we develop an analytical framework that sheds light on bureaucratic agenc…

Integrating human rights in the sustainability governance of global supply chains: Exploring the deforestation-land tenure nexus
In contemporary discourse, the need to address urgent environmental issues with a social perspective is widely acknowledged. While theories on policy integration have primarily focused on the national scale, limited attention has been given to the merging of environmental and human rights considerations in global supply chain sustainability governance. Drawing on policy integration theories, we develop an analytical framework for studying Human R…
Towards more sustainable global supply chains? Company compliance with new human rights and environmental due diligence laws
Binding regulations have, recently, emerged in the Global North with the aim of holding companies accountable for environmental and/or human rights impacts throughout their supply chains. This article develops and applies an analytical framework to analyze corporate accountability dynamics in global trade, with a focus on the French Duty of Vigilance (DV) law. We analyze how companies in the agri-food sector have complied with the law as well as …
Localizing the indigenous environmental steward norm: The making of conservation and territorial rights in Peru
Strengthening subnational institutions for sustainable development in resource-rich states: Decentralized land-use planning in Peru
New mechanisms of participation in extractive governance: Between technologies of governance and resistance work
In this special issue, the focus is on the dynamics and use of participatory mechanisms related to the rapid expansion of the extractive industries worldwide and the ways it increasingly affects sensitive natural environments populated by indigenous and other marginalised populations. We offer an empirically grounded and theoretically innovative comparative analysis of practices that aim to enhance participation, negotiation and influence as a re…
The struggles surrounding ecological and economic zoning in Peru
In the context of a growing number of socio-environmental conflicts, different actors emphasise that territorial planning promises to strengthen democratic participation, reduce conflicts, and enable the coexistence of mining with other economic activities. As there are few studies on these processes, this article contributes by asking: To what extent do ecological and economic zoning and related territorial planning (ZEE-OT) open up a decentrali…
Private Conflict Regulation and the Influence of Peasant Communities over Natural Resources
Until recently, the Peruvian government to a great extent has given corporations the responsibility for resolving the increasing number of conflicts with local communities in mining localities. In the literature on political and economic reforms, mobilization, and democratic influence, few studies have addressed the role of corporations in relation to those processes. This study contributes an analysis of how corporate-community relations affect …
Historic state-society relations and mobilisations surrounding extractive industries: Lessons from Peru
Various researchers have sought to explain why community organisations respond differently to mining projects. One important, understudied factor is the local history of state-society relations, which shape specific collective identities as well as organisational structures. This study compares the mobilisation processes in two Peruvian mining projects: Rio Blanco in Huancabamba and Bambas in Cotabambas. The former region has a history of strong …
