在这篇文章中，我们分析和理论化权力是如何行使和主观性改造，以实现和维持社会政治秩序的大规模国际采掘投资领域。通过对国际采矿和碳氢化合物行业政治生态的最新文献的批判性回顾，我们探讨了企业及其盟友部署的战略，以确保和保护土地和资源获取的转换关系，积累依赖。受约翰·艾伦的工作启发，我们分析了这些策略，关注使用的权力模式和技术，强调了尽管该行业具有破坏稳定的影响，但追求社会政治稳定的多种方式。出现的情况是，与该部门以胁迫和统治而闻名相比，在采掘边境获得土地和资源的转变制度在很大程度上是通过艾伦所说的“更安静的权力登记册“实现和稳定的。对采掘公司及其盟友行使权力以确保和维持土地和资源使用权的各种重叠方式的关注，凸显了大卫·哈维（David Harvey）在理解采掘资本如何流入“新领域”方面有影响力的剥夺积累框架的局限性。“它还将注意力引向采掘业前沿的主体形成过程，以及如何通过生产特定种类的主体来促进行业扩张。为了说明这一点，我们概述了三种相互关联的方式，通过人们与当代采掘业的逻辑，物质性和权力的相遇，主观性被重新加工。我们建议，那些生活在大型国际采掘活动阴影下的人成为采掘主体。
In this article we analyse and theorise how power is exercised and subjectivities reworked to achieve and maintain socio ‐ political order in areas of large ‐ scale international extractive investment. Through a critical review of recent literature on the political ecologies of the international mining and hydrocarbon industries, we explore the strategies that firms and their allies deploy to secure and preserve the transformed relations of land and resource access upon which accumulation relies. Inspired by the work of John Allen we analyse these strategies with attention to the modalities and techniques of power used, highlighting the diverse ways socio ‐ political stability is pursued despite the industry ’ s destabilising effects. What emerges is that, contrasting the sector ’ s reputation for coercion and domination, transformed regimes of access to land and resources at the extractive frontier are to a significant degree achieved and stabilised through what Allen calls the “ quieter registers ” of power. Attention to the varied and overlapping ways extractive firms and their allies exercise power to secure and maintain access to land and resources highlights limitations to David Harvey ’ s influential accumulation by dispossession framework for understanding how extractive capital circulates into “ new ground. ” It also directs attention to processes of subject formation at the extractive frontier, and to how industry expansion may be facilitated through the production of particular kinds of subjects. To illustrate this, we outline three interrelated ways subjectivities are reworked through peoples ’ encounters with the logics, materiality, and power of contemporary extractive industry. We suggest that those living in the shadow of large international extractive operations become extractive subjects.
