Democratic Information in an Age of Corporate Power
►http://multinationales.org/Democratic-Information-in-an-Age-of-Corporate-Power

Independent information on big business and corporate power has never been more critical to our democracy. Whether from trade secrets protection, media concentration or because of the general erosion of workers’ and civil society’s rights to challenge business practices, independent information is under threat. The Multinationals Observatory, along with French NGO Ritimo, publishes a special issue of the Passerelle collection dedicated to this challenge, which includes contributions from many (...)

#shale_gas : how Algerians rallied against the Regime and Foreign Oil Companies
▻http://multinationales.org/Shale-gas-how-Algerians-rallied-against-the-Regime-and-Foreign-Oil-

Protests erupted last year in #Algeria against government-approved shale gas exploration. The drilling sites are particularly contentious as they are located near Saharan towns and oases, and threaten already scarce #water resources. Fifty years after the former colonial power conducted nuclear tests in the Algerian Sahara, the French State, #Total and other multinational companies were accused of interference. Basta! and the Multinationals Observatory explored the issues around this (...)

Pollution, Drought and Threats: the Disturbing Cocktail of #Colombia's Oil Industry
▻http://multinationales.org/Pollution-Drought-and-Threats-the-Disturbing-Cocktail-of-Colombia-s

Basta! and the Multinationals Observatory investigated its practices in Colombia where #Perenco owns several concessions, alongside other companies. The oil industry has been accused of playing a role in the droughts that have grown more frequent in the Amazon Savannah. It also faces accusations of negligence in regards to the pollution left to contaminate marshes and rivers. In spite of the blockading (...)
