Abstract
This paper builds on the case study work into conflict between mining firms and nearby communities through a statistical analysis of the determinants of social conflict at the local level in the mining sector in Latin America. The analysis is based on an original dataset of 640 geo-located mining properties at the advanced exploration stage and above, which includes GIS information on environment and land-use patterns around the property, sub-national socio-economic characteristics of the population, firm and mining property characteristics, as well as information about known social conflicts.
