Dirigé par Thierry Rodon, Sophie Thériault, Arn Keeling, Séverine Bouard et Andrew Taylor, Mining and Indigenous Livelihoods: Rights, Revenues, and Resistance explore les rencontres entre les peuples autochtones et les communautés locales avec les entreprises minières dans divers contextes postcoloniaux. Les contributeurs de ce volume, grâce à une analyse comparative et multidisciplinaire, mettent en lumière la manière dont l’industrie minière pourrait adapter ses pratiques aux contextes politiques et juridiques dans lesquels elle opère.

L'ouvrage sur la mise en oeuvre du consentement préalable, libre et éclairé est dirigé par Thierry Rodon et Martin Papillon.

Dans le chapitre intitulé "The Gendered Violence of Canadian Extraction", Rebecca Hall explore la dynamique de genre des opérations extractives au Canada. À partir d'un ensemble diversifié d'études de cas, elle analyse la relation entre le foyer, la communauté et le travail, en mettant l'accent sur les relations entre les autochtones et les entreprises, ainsi que sur les dynamiques de type "Fly-in/Fly-Out".

Papillon, M. & Rodon, T. 2016. « Proponent-Indigenous Agreements and the Implementation of the Right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent in Canada », Environmental Impact Assessment Review, 62: 1-9

Two papers of this special issue on «Dealing with Resource Development in Canada's North» are written by our members : «Mining Economies: Inuit Business Development and Employment in the Eastern Subarctic» (p.59-78) and «Impact and Benefit Agreement (IBA) Revenue Allocation Strategies for Indigenous Community Development» (p.9-29)

In this chapter, Martin Papillon and Thierry Rodon focus on the implementation of free, prior and informed consent in the Canadian context. It's published in the book The Prior Consultation of Indigenous Peoples in Latin America (2019).

Building on two case studies, a mining policy adopted by the Cree Nation of James Bay and a community-driven impact assessment process established by the Squamish Nation, Martin Papillon and Thierry Rodon demonstrate in this article how Indigenous-driven mechanisms can be powerful instruments to shape how fpic is defined and translated in practice.

This chapter, written by Thierry Rodon and Francis Lévesque, discusses the socio-economic impacts of mines in northern communities. It is published in the book Resources and Sustainable Development in the Arctic.

The authors (Leah S. Horowitz, Arn Keeling, Francis Lévesque, Thierry Rodon, Stephan Schott and Sophie Thériault) discuss differences in legal regimes governing Indigenous peoples’ rights and implications of those rights for negotiations over mining projects. They also examine mining activities’ various impacts − environmental, economic, social − and how they specifically affect Indigenous communities.

In this paper, Thierry Rodon analyzes how local and regional initiatives (Midwifery Program, Childcare, Preparation for Post-Secondary Education, Nunavik Parks) contribute to the sustainable development of Nunavik.

In the chapter "Offshore Development and Inuit Rights in Inuit Nunangat", Thierry Rodon analyzes the Inuit community of Clyde River and their mayor Jerry Natanine’s resistance to seismic testing in the sea within their region. This struggle is built upon the implementation of the principle of Free Prior and Informed Consent and shows Inuit’s willingness to regain control on their territory.
