At the root of much of the deforestation, land rights violations, human rights abuses and ultimately the continuation of unequal, neocolonial North-South relations are the two-fold phenomena of global market pressures for extractivism and mass production of resources and the militarization of response to social conflicts created by these activities. We will investigate the 'new' extractivism economic activities from the perspective of the violence perpetrated by assemblages of power against indigenous protest movements in the Peruvian Amazon region. Specifically, we will probe a grassroots' response to the way Peru's elites have integrated the country within the global economic system: we focus on Indigenous peoples' protests in 2008-9 against the new regulation to open the Amazon for development of resources by private companies carried out by Peru's President Alan García, on the grounds that it represented a threat to their natural resources and livelihood
