Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Governing the Extractive Sector: Regulating the Foreign Conduct of International Mining Firms by Jeffrey Bone
This book considers and offers solutions to the problems faced by local communities and the environment with respect to global mining. The book explores grievance mechanisms in the home states of the major mining conglomerates arguing that they should be functional pragmatic and effective at resolving disputes between mining enterprises and impacted communities. The key to this is harnessing the power of industry-sponsored dispute mechanisms to reduce the costs for home state governments and judicial systems. Critically civil society actors will be both advocates and mediators to achieve a fair result for those impacted abroad by extractive enterprises.
