Against the tide of conventional wisdom, he masterfully shows that sporadic, seemingly isolated protests against natural resource extraction at the subnational level, when aggregated, do have significant national policy effects. Drawing on a wealth of evidence, Arce insightfully combines political science and social movement theory to reveal the links between democracy, party competition, and variation in antimarket protest at the subnational level in Peru. The book has tremendous comparative implications for anyone studying protest against the 'new extractivism' elsewhere in Latin America. --Eduardo Silva, Tulane University Why, at a time of unprecedented democracy and economic abundance, do we see rising levels of protest in Peru and elsewhere in Latin America? Moises Arce's book offers a compelling explanation. Mining activities in Latin America have expanded much more rapidly than our understanding of their consequences. Resource Extraction and Protest in Peru is thus a timely and important contribution. I recommend it to all students of Latin American politics. --Steven Levitsky, Harvard University . . . Arce pushes the social movement literature into new dimensions . . . Resource Extraction offers indispensable reading for social movement scholars in the fields of sociology, political science, anthropology, history, and Latin American studies.' --The Historian Moises Arce delivers an important book.
