This module seeks to conceptually explore the range of brutalities emerging from corporate accumulation in developing world countries through the lens of neo-colonialism and global inequality. It documents a range of crimes perpetrated against labour, the environment, and various social groups in the course of corporate profiteering in less-developed regions and nations. Various systems of production and extraction are examined including mining, deforestation for palm oil, dam construction, export processing zones and deep-sea fishing. The module deploys an array of critical theoretical perspectives and concepts in uncovering the connections between state power, corporate crime and neo-colonialism.
