Multinational Mining Companies and the Local Political Economy of Violence in Peru
CORPORATE SECURITY GOVERNANCE: MULTINATIONAL MINING COMPANIES AND THE LOCAL POLITICAL ECONOMY OF VIOLENCE IN PERU by JONATHAN KISHEN GAMU A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Political Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2016 © Jonathan Kishen Gamu, 2016 ii Abstract Multinational corporations (MNCs) from the global mining industry have become increasingly active in security governance in areas of limited statehood. Since 2000 they have used dialogue and development activities to mitigate security risks associated with their operations. However, despite a proliferation of community engagement initiatives, violent protest in relation to industrial mining has risen globally. Accordingly, I analyze the efficacy of MNCs as security governors within the context of Peru’s mining sector. Over the past fifteen years this country has experienced a dramatic increase in mining- related social conflict, yet industrial mining has had heterogeneous effects locally. Using the subnational comparative method, I examine four cases that exhibit variation in conflict intensity in order to analyze the factors influencing MNCs’ impact on security. I argue that MNCs’ ability to mitigate violent social conflict is best explained using an analytical framework that accounts for the political economy of contention within which firms are embedded, and the intra-firm politics that determine their behaviour vis-à-vis civil society. The political economy of contention exogenous to firms establishes a local security baseline, predicting generic social conflict risks and patterns of violence likely to emerge during specific protest episodes. Given this external milieu, the organizational politics of the firm will determine its marginal effect. -

Three Case Studies of Rural Electrification in Peru
Inclusive Innovation in Rural Communities: Three Case Studies of Rural Electrification in Peru Ursula Andrea Harman Canalle Master of Technology and Innovation Management and Policy Bachelor of Social Sciences in Sociology A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 School of Agriculture & Food Sciences Abstract Indigenous people in Latin American countries are often socially excluded, with their communities characterised by limited access to basic social services (education and health), basic infrastructure (roads, energy, potable water and sewage), underemployment, lack of democratic representation, cultural discrimination and other restrictions on the full exercise of citizenship. Under the inclusive development approach, policies and policy instruments of science, technology and innovation (STI) are believed to contribute to rural communities’ social inclusion. Recent models within the inclusive development framework understand innovation in terms of both outputs and social processes that considers the participation of different types of actors, including marginalised groups. The concept of inclusive innovation, then, refers to a structural change in which rural communities are active citizens in the decision-making and learning processes that aim to find new solutions to given problems. Peru faces a significant challenge in reducing poverty, especially in rural areas where Indigenous communities, in particular, experience extreme poverty. According to Peru’s national strategy of STI, the transfer of technology, in the form of the delivery of the goods and services needed by marginalised rural communities, is a mechanism for social inclusion. One key technology transfer intervention is electrification through projects that aim to foster the development and capacity of rural communities by transferring new energy technologies such as photovoltaic panels and mini/micro-hydropower systems.
