Governance in the Extractive Industries : Power, Cultural Politics and Regulation Paperback / softback
Edited by Lori Leonard, Siba N. Grovogui
Part of the Routledge Studies of the Extractive Industries and Sustainable Development series
Paperback / softback
Description
Greater understanding of the forms and consequences of investment and disinvestment in the extractive industries is required as a result of capitalist expansion, recent declines in global commodity prices, and claims that extractive sector projects, especially in the global south, are poverty reduction projects.
This book explores emergent forms of governance in mining and extractive industry projects around the world.
Chapters examine efforts to govern extractive activities across multiple political scales, through intermediaries, instruments, technologies, discourses, and infrastructures.
The contributions analyse how multiple micro-processes of rule reverberate through societies to shape the material conditions of everyday life but also politics, social relations, and subjectivities in extractive economies.
Detailed case studies are included from Africa (Chad, Nigeria, Rwanda, and São Tomé and PrÃncipe), Latin America (Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru), and the UN Climate Conference.
