  abstract = {{I}n the five last decades, the massive industrialization of mining extraction, through technological developments, the shift to more open-pit mining, and more recently automation, has reduced the amount of labour required by companies and led to the demise of the model of the company town. {S}ince the 1990s, the internalization of environmental externalities under the pressure of environmentalist concerns has put neighbouring/affected communities and their allies at the centre stage. {T}hese combined trends have generated a shift from the social relations of production to the social relations of compensation as the core issue structuring conflicts and arrangements within mining arenas. {I}n {N}ew {C}aledonia ({NC}), compensation has only recently entered the mining policy debate whereas the notion itself has long been discussed in the field of {M}elanesian social anthropology. {C}ompensation has become a policy tool for dealing with the broader issue of mining environmental and social impacts. {I}n {N}ew {C}aledonia, ideas and models of compensation have developed in a variety of ways, illustrating disconnections between how public institutions, mining companies and local populations deal with its conception, qualification and measurement. {T}his contribution will explore the "compensation arena" in {N}ew {C}aledonia stressing the tension between governmentality and the practice of politics triggered by compensation policies, and its effects on the management of mining landscapes.},
