“…Focusing on this shift, there is a small but growing body of knowledge which utilizes Indigenous communities as a key unit of analysis to understand how alliances with non-Indigenous organizations could enable these communities to realize their overarching social, political, and economic goals (Anderson 1997;Anderson et al 2006;Barker 2010;Hindle et al 2005;Missens et al 2007;Langton and Longbottom 2012;Moroz et al 2014). Indigenous communities are observed to have a strong desire to participate in the global economy in a manner that is not disadvantageous to the attachment they place on cultural integrity, unique and varied heritages, value systems, as well as issues of autonomy/equality and nation-building (Anderson et al 2006;Peredo et al 2004).…”

“…The history of organizing in an Indigenous context started with socioeconomic development planning and strategies (Anderson and Bone 2003), and then moved to the study of Indigenous entrepreneurship (Hindle and Moroz 2010) with a sub-field that involved a focus on community-based enterprise (Peredo and Chrisman 2006). Greater interest on the phenomenon of SAs as a means for leveraging the resources for starting up new ventures soon followed (Moroz et al 2014). An underlying focus on partnerships and the significance of natural resources and land-based rights in their development provides a linking foundation across all the divergent focuses and aspects of Indigenous organizing (Dana et al 2016;Berkes 1999;Anderson and Bone 2003).…”

How might diverse and often conflicting knowledge and belief structures and practices be mobilized into legitimate approaches for people looking to address the need for heightened responsible and sustainable entrepreneurial action by business organizations; humanizing the role of business in development? To answer this question, we explore two previously unconnected but aligned streams of literature: (i) work on strategic business alliances in general (R1); and (ii) work on corporate/Indigenous community partnerships specifically (R2). A systematic literature search identified 300 papers on the topics in total. We selected 39 general and 23 Indigenous-specific papers for review using a guiding classification matrix to determine principal themes and concepts. Both streams of literature were reviewed, and an approach was developed to identify areas where the empirical observation of Indigenous partnerships provides a contribution to the theory and practice of Indigenous entrepreneurship within the realm of strategic alliance formation, and vice versa. The paper concludes with a discussion of dissimilarities in the two streams of literature and maps out avenues for future research into strategic alliances involving corporate responsibility and sustainability (CRS), approaches based on Indigenous belief and value systems, and Indigenous entrepreneurship.

Resource extraction, resistance, and religion in Nicaragua

My dissertation examines the causes of protest over resource extraction in Nicaragua, and underlines the role of religion as a catalyst for sustained and successful challenges against resource extraction. With few exceptions, existing research has rarely explored individual-level attitudes related to resource extraction. Opposition and support towards mining are not mutually exclusive from protest success in overturning a mining concession. They build off each other. If a community strongly opposes mining, especially related to economic threats and grievances tied to environmental and agricultural concerns, it will likely continue its resistance movement until it sees policy changes that halt or overturn mining concessions in the community. However, if there is support for mining in the community over economic opportunities and benefits, mining activities will likely prevail because individuals in the community believe they will economically benefit from mining. I examine the causes of opposition and support over resource extraction in two Nicaraguan mining communities through qualitative interviews and public opinion surveys. I am particularly interested in why individuals either support or oppose resource extraction, and how these attitudes are shaped by social engagement (i.e., formed or reinforced) through participation in various types of local organizations. In doing so, scholars can begin to understand different individual responses to mining that underline the aggregate stories of homogenous community resistance and better understand the individual mechanisms that lead citizens in extractive areas to either partake in mining resistance or abstain. Additionally, existing literature has largely ignored the role of religion as a catalyst in fomenting successful resistance against resource extraction. In fact, there are thousands of protests against resource extraction in Latin America and hundreds throughout Nicaragua, but only a small fraction of them are effective in stopping mining concessions. Because there are clear power imbalances between communities and extractive companies, preventing a new mining project from being implemented or ending an existing project is a very difficult endeavor. Large-scale extractive companies often utilize "divide and rule" strategies that successfully break up local opposition to extraction. My dissertation examines how religion acts as a catalyzing agent in providing communities with the organizational tools and resources that assist individuals in effectively and sustainably to unite and organize against mining until the community achieves a successful national-level policy change reversing mining concessions.
