John-Andrew McNeish engages some of the most profound questions of politics with ethnographic delicacy and allows the reader to understand abstract questions in their palpable reality. Questions, sometimes confined to grey textbooks, come to life with urgency in the chapters."</em> <strong>- Christian Lund</strong>, University of Copenhagen</p> <p> <em>"This book makes an important argument about the role of resource sovereignty in struggles over land, territory, energy and the environment....The author has had two decades of experience researching these issues across the continent, and the book demonstrates his wide reaching understanding of both the region and its struggles as well as the relevant literature."</em> <strong>- Nancy Postero</strong>, University of California San Diego</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>John-Andrew McNeish</strong> is Professor of International Environment and Development Studies at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU).</p>
