Abstract
Abstract This chapter introduces varied ways that communities in hydrocarbon and mining zones have utilized participatory institutions in extractive conflict, and summarizes how the book draws on and contributes to the literatures on social conflict in extractive industries, theories of institutional change, and participatory institutions that incorporate civil society into local policymaking. The chapter also reviews the logic employed in the selection of thirty extractive conflicts in Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru for the study, and introduces the book’s causal framework for understanding variation in community uses of participatory institutions. The argument centers on certain challenges to participation that communities in the conflicts faced: the trials of initiating participatory events, gaining inclusion in participatory processes, and, for included communities, expressing views about extraction at the participatory stage.
