520    "Iron Will lays bare the role of extractivist policies and
       efforts to resist these policies through a deep 
       ethnographic exploration of globally important iron ore 
       mining in Brazil and India. Markus Kröger addresses 
       resistance strategies to extractivism and tracks their 
       success, or lack thereof, through a comparison of peaceful
       and armed resource conflicts, explaining how different 
       means of resistance arise. Using the distinctly different 
       contexts and political systems of Brazil and India 
       highlights the importance of local context for resistance.
       For example, if there is an armed conflict at a planned 
       mining site, how does this influence the possibility to 
       use peaceful resistance strategies? To answer such 
       questions, Kröger assesses the inter-relations of 
       contentious, electoral, institutional, judicial, and 
       private politics that surround conflicts and interactions,
       offering a new theoretical framework of "investment 
       politics" that can be applied generally by scholars and 
       students of social movements, environmental studies, and 
       political economy, and even more broadly in Social 
       Scientific and Environmental Policy research. By drawing 
       on a detailed field research and other sources, this book 
       explains precisely which resistance strategies are able to
       influence both political and economic outcomes. Kröger 
       expands the focus of traditionally Latin American 
       extractivism research to other contexts such as India and 
       the growing extractivist movement in the Global North. In 
       addition, as the book is a multi-sited political 
       ethnography, it will appeal to sociologists, political 
       scientists, anthropologists, geographers, and others using
       field research among other methods to understand 
       globalization and global political interactions. It is the
       most comprehensive book on the political economy and 
       ecology of iron ore and steel. This is astonishing, given 
       the fact that iron ore is the second-most important 
       commodity in the world after oil"--|cProvided by publisher
