| Popis: | Using a case study from the Philippines, this article applies David Harvey's theory of accumulation by dispossession to show how neoliberal policies enable mining corporations to lo- cate, lay claim to, and develop mineral resources in formerly in- accessible areas, which for centuries have provided safe haven for indigenous peoples and their cultures. It explains why these fac- tors are leading to an increase in armed conflict between military forces and guerrilla groups, which recruit their members from dis- placed indigenous people. The article concludes that the theory of accumulation by dispossession offers an appropriate analytical tool for understanding these processes. |
