Contesting natures : a discourse analysis of natural resource conflicts : a thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand

This research explores the discursive formations involved in two environmental conflicts during which organisations were not permitted to carry out their proposed extractive activities. The conflicts were based on the West Coast of the South Island in New Zealand. The first involved sustainable native logging and the second was over the siting and extension of a gold mine
