ABSTRACT

Investments in large-scale land-based projects increased over the past two decades, with a concomitant rise in community-level resistance. Drawing from data on resistance movements, literature findings, and two case studies in Senegal, this paper compares movements resisting either agro-industrial or mining projects. Building on contentious politics and materialist approaches from political ecology we find that outcomes seem largely case-dependent and determined by political opportunities, while resistance motives, narratives and more confrontational practices differ across both sectors. We suggest that this can be explained through sector-specific material, discursive and institutional factors. Our findings shed light on challenges for cross-sectoral alliances.

摘要

在过去的二十年中，对大型陆上项目的投资有所增加，社区层面的阻力也随之增加。根据抵抗运动的数据、文献发现和塞内加尔的两个案例研究，本文比较了抵抗农业工业或采矿项目的运动。基于有争议的政治和政治生态学的唯物主义方法，我们发现结果似乎在很大程度上取决于案例并由政治机会决定，而抵抗动机、叙述和更具对抗性的做法在两个部门之间有所不同。我们建议这可以通过特定部门的材料、话语和制度因素来解释。我们的发现揭示了跨部门联盟面临的挑战。
