Descripción
Sumario:This article seeks to determine whether PT Freeport Indonesia, an operating subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold Inc., has acted in environmentally and socially responsible ways in the context of its operations in Papua, Indonesia, and how well it has responded to the legacy left by its less responsible operations from 1973 until the mid-1990s. This objective is achieved by examining the company’s impact on the resources and assets with which it comes into contact as part of its operations, as well as through a historical review of the province of Papua and its incorporation into Indonesia, Freeport’s entry into Papua, and the company’s engagement with international and Indonesian politics.
