Book excerpt: Fieldwork in Ecuador included 22 interviews with community members, petroleum industry and government officials, and nongovernmental organization (NGO) leaders. Data was analyzed using a coding scheme primarily based on Fisher's 1983 categorization of negotiating power. This study reveals some of the weaknesses in the negotiation process, including inadequate enforcement of existing best practices for petroleum extraction in sensitive areas, a lack of clarity regarding each party's role in the development process, and procedures that have not been standardized and often exclude the indigenous community.
