- The book is the culmination of a four-year individual research project. It involves a comparative case study of major jewellers’ responses to a campaign challenging their involvement in the negative impacts of gold mining. It is based on multiple in-person, elite interviews with notoriously inaccessible executives and other stakeholders, at multiple sites across Europe and North America. The research involved both historical and investigative techniques to piece together this previously untold story, capturing the perspectives of the decision-makers directly involved, contrasting the different organisational contexts within which they operate, and triangulating data across numerous sources.
