Abstract
In the mid-20th century, through the work of foreign corporations, oil and natural gas began to dominate the economy of Trinidad and Tobago. This research explores the activities of BP and Alcoa from the standpoints of the corporations themselves and citizen protestors, respectively, and analyzes the stakes of each party in relation to the notions of empire, neoliberalism, and sustainable development.
