(Studien des Leibniz-Instituts Hessische Stiftung Friedens- und Konfliktforschung) 1st ed. 2020 edition
by Janine Romero Valenzuela (Author)
Janine Romero Valenzuela analyses the Bolivian lithium program in the largest empirical study to date with a focus on local perspectives and governance, identifying grievances and conflict dimensions. The case study shows that it is particularly an altered governance approach, the local trust in government and the high expectations that the Morales administration could create around lithium that influence local viewpoints. By applying the meaningful grievance concept on the local level, the book supports a further refinement of theories on a resource-governance-conflict-link.
