This book maps the encounters between Indigenous Peoples and local communities with mining companies in various postcolonial contexts.Combining comparative and multidisciplinary analysis, the contributors to this volume shine a light on how the mining industry might adapt its practices to the political and legal contexts where they operate. Understanding these processes and how communities respond to these encounters is critical to documenting where and how encounters with mining may benefit or negatively impact Indigenous Peoples. The experiences and reflections shared by Indigenous and non-Indigenous contributors will enhance our understanding of evolving practices and of the different strategies and discourses developed by Indigenous Peoples to deal with mining projects. By mobilizing in-depth fieldwork in five regions—Australia, Canada, Sweden, New Caledonia, and Brazil—this body of work highlights voices often marginalized in mining development studies, including those of Indigenous Peoples and women.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of mining and the extractive industries, sustainable development, natural resource management, and Indigenous Peoples.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

La Nouvelle-Calédonie s’apprête à prendre un virage institutionnel et politique dans un monde qui a radicalement changé depuis les premières luttes pour la décolonisation. Vingt-huit ans après les accords de Matignon-Oudinot, alors que se profile une nouvelle date clé pour son avenir institutionnel et politique avec la sortie programmée de l’accord de Nouméa, où en est la Nouvelle-Calédonie ? Son modèle économique a-t-il fondamentalement changé ? Sa trajectoire de développement estelle soutenable ? Alors que le pays est engagé dans un processus de décolonisation négocié, quels sont ses atouts et ses options stratégiques pour affronter la mondialisation et ses nouvelles formes ?Le pays est en effet de plus en plus intégré à des marchés mondiaux libéralisés et dérégulés ; l’urbanisation se confirme mais elle prend des formes et a des impacts qui déjouent certains pronostics et tendances observées ailleurs ; vingt-cinq années de croissance soutenue ont dopé le marché intérieur ; en lien avec la croissance des mobilités, la place du non-marchand et de la coutume est restée essentielle à son développement humain ; les transferts de compétences de l’État français vers le territoire opérés au cours des vingt dernières années ont transformé les lieux et les acteurs de la décision politique ; l’industrialisation par la métallurgie a changé la donne quant à la répartition de la rente du nickel ; la bipolarisation politique a fait place à davantage de pluralisme... pour ne citer que certaines des évolutions les plus emblématiques.A la veille de la consultation sur le transfert des dernières compétences, quels sont les futurs possibles pour l’économie très politique de la Nouvelle-Calédonie ? Sur quels acquis institutionnels et économiques de la trajectoire récente s’appuyer ? Quels relais de croissance activer et, au-delà et surtout, quel modèle de développement et quel « contrat social » renégocier ?

In 2018, a few months before the first referendum for full sovereignty, the government of New Caledonia launched the co-design of the country's first water policy based on a broad consultation that involved 1 out of 600 New Caledonians, the locally so-called “Shared Water Policy”.The book both presents and assesses the original and broad participatory process used to build the new water policy. It does so by crossing different points of view (government, local managers and customary authorities). The book is also devoted to bridging the gap between customary land studies and water policy. It seeks a way to weave water representations and customary water management practices into the new policy. This experience in a unique decolonisation complex context will inspire policy makers, academics, managers working on participatory methodologies for more inclusive water policy and governance processes, especially in countries where indigenous populations and legal pluralism orders coexist.
