Situating Resource Struggles: Concepts for Empirical Analysis.

2003. Economic and Political Weekly 38(48):5120-5128.


Abstract

To analyse resource conflict, this article proposes a conceptual framework which operates at two levels: a conceptualisation of power in terms of sovereignty, governmentality and politics; and a repertoire of terms (projects, practices, processes, positions) that enable the empirical examination of particular sites of struggle. The framework is applied to conflict over a national park in Sulawesi, Indonesia.
