One of the other intended contributions to this volume has since been published in a learned journal (Hyndman 2001), and Stuart Kirsch himself has recently published a review of his own role (and that of other social scientists) in the saga of the Ok Tedi Min (Kirsch 2002). The present paper does not respond to the arguments put forward in either of these pieces, but the Resource Management in Asia-Pacific Program has offered to publish it as a Working Paper (with only minor revisions) in order to sustain an academic debate which has continued over the five years since RMAP published a monograph on the same subject (Banks and Ballard 1997).304337 bytes354 bytes354 bytesapplication/pdfen-AUAuthor/s retain copyrightOk TediFlyenvironmentaleconomicmultinationalmoral issuescompensationsedimentYonggomstereotyping
