Abstract
This chapter analyses a pair of underground mines in Bolivia, Porco and San Carlos. Both mines faced threats of expropriation by the Bolivian state, and both came under pressure from small-scale cooperative miners that sought to take portion of the firms’ mineral deposits. Yet conflict led to different distributive outcomes across the two cases. In Porco, as conflict became more intense, the firm abandoned local development projects and focused on supporting allies and compensating foes. In San Carlos, the firm maintained inclusive development programs in the face of conflict. This chapter highlights the ways in which the organization of interests and strategies of firms interact to influence outcomes.
