Dear colleagues

We’d like to announce new book: Contested Consultations in the Extractive Industries: Rights, Processes, and Tensions (Routledge, 2025), edited by myself, Nathan Andrews, Karin Buhmann, Ibironke T. Odumosu-Ayanu, and Mark Stoddart.

This volume examines how communities, companies, and governments contest and contribute to the evolution of norms, rules and decision-making procedures that govern stakeholder consultation in the extractive industries. It takes a global and comparative perspective that examines the complexity of intersecting and overlapping consultation requirements, with a particular focus on Indigenous Peoples, using cases from the Global North and Global South, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, The Central African Republic, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Iceland, Ghana, Greenland, Guyana, Norway, and Peru. The collection concludes with reflections by practitioners and civil society organizations on the evolution of consultation norms and practices over time.

The edited collection is published open-access, and should be accessible via this link:
