Extractive Industries Summary

Extractive Industries: The Management of Resources as a Driver of Sustainable Development by Tony Addison (Chief Economist and Deputy Director, Chief Economist and Deputy Director, UNU-WIDER, Helsinki, Finland)

This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. New initiatives recognize that resource wealth can provide a means, when properly used, for poorer nations to decisively break with poverty by diversifying economies and funding development spending. Extractive Industries: The Management of Resources as a Driver of Sustainable Development explores the challenges and opportunities facing developing countries in using oil, gas, and mining to achieve inclusive change. While resource wealth can yield prosperity it can also, when mismanaged, cause acute social inequality, deep poverty, environmental damage, and political instability. There is a new determination to improve the benefits of extractive industries to their host countries, and to strengthen the sector's governance. Extractive Industries provides a comprehensive contribution to what must be done in this sector to deliver development, protect often fragile environments from damage, enhance the rights of affected communities, and support climate change action. It brings together international experts to offer ideas and recommendations in the main policy areas. With a breadth of collective insight and experience, it argues that more attention must be given to the development role of extractive industries, and looks to the future to explain how action on climate change will profoundly shape the sector's prospects.

Extractive Industries Reviews

...many of these papers are likely to contribute fruitfully to the future discussion on resource management policies in developing countries. Policymakers, practitioners, and academics are all likely to find food for thought on these issues in this book. * Jesper Stage, Mineral Economics *
