The Politics of Mining on Indigenous Lands: The Story of Century Zinc Mine

Abstract

This book scrutinises the behaviour of the state during the negotiations for Century Zinc Mine. It confirms the critical links between the levels of analysis in policymaking processes and the dialectical interaction between structure and agency at all levels of policy making. The book makes a considered contribution to the literature on the political economy of mineral development in Australia. It also augments the information available to Indigenous people about the mineral negotiation process.
