handle is hein.journals/environs43 and id is 1 raw text is: Hernando de Soto, the Lone Prospector and the Formalization of Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining: A Case Study from La Rinconada, Peru Patrick Wieland' The incentive to the pioneer held out by the reward of a gold or silver mine, if he can find one, is magical upon the sanguine temperament of the prospector. For near a quarter of a century a race of men, constituting a majority by far of all the miners of the West, patient of toil, hopeful of success, deprived of the associations of home and family, have devoted themselves, with untiring energy, to sinking deep shafts, running tunnels thousands offeet in solid granite, traversing deserts, climbing mountains, and enduring every conceivable hardship and privation, exploring for mines, all predicated upon the idea that no change would be made in this system, that would deprive them of their hard-earned treasure. Senator William Morris Stewart, 18661 1 Law Degree 2005, Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru, LL.M. 2011, Yale Law School, and MSc. in Environmental Change and Management 2012, University of Oxford. Currently J.S.D. candidate in residence at Yale Law School and environmental law professor in Universidad del Pacifico. This Article was prepared in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a graduate law degree at Yale Law School. I would like to thank Professor Claire Priest for her invaluable guidance throughout this project. I benefited from my discussions with Professors Carol Rose and Robert Ellickson. I am in debt to June Francis, Kristina Henriksson, Clare Ryan, Gerardo Damonte, and Patricio Nazareno for their substantial feedback to previous drafts. I am also thankful to participants of the 2019 Yale Law School Doctoral Colloquium, the Environmental Anthropology Collective at Yale University, and the University of British Columbia 23rd Interdisciplinary Legal Studies Graduate Conference. I benefited from my conversations and correspondence with Orestes Orrego, Monica Nunez, Ana Quenallata, Wen Zhou, Daniel Corrales, Renata Bregaglio, and professors at Universidad Nacional del Altiplano (Peru). Patricia Trainor and Peter Ludwig helped in the structuring and proofreading of this Article. My visit to Peru (Lima, Puno, Juliaca, La Rinconada and Ituata) during the summer of 2019 was possible thanks to the funding provided by the Yale Law School Streicker Fund. Jose Farfan, Reiner Paredes and Roger Pino provided key contacts to make my fieldwork feasible. Gabriel Daly provided contacts at the Institute of Liberty and Democracy (ILD). Finally, I am grateful to the dozens of Altiplano inhabitants-who shall remain nameless-for sharing with me their stories of success, sacrifice, and resilience around their own artisanal mining livelihoods. 2 Cong.
