What is it about?

This article examines how copper mining governance in Peru is shaped by institutions and the language used by government and corporate leaders. It shows that legitimacy is not only about laws and regulations, but also about how sustainability and development are communicated. By analyzing official documents, policies, and reports, the study reveals how discourse influences trust, inclusion, and accountability. The research provides a foundation for future studies exploring how language and institutional design interact in resource governance, helping better to understand the social and environmental challenges of mining.
