Implementing EITI for Impact

Oil, natural gas, and mineral deposits (“Extractive Resources”) offer the potential to generate significant financial benefits and help countries fuel their economic growth and development, employment, business opportunities, and incomes, ultimately leading to a better life for the citizens of those countries through sustained poverty reduction and inclusive growth. Leveraging these Extractive Resources to attain such beneficial outcomes requires accountability and transparency in governance. The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) was launched in 2002 in an effort to improve public accountability of governments. It provides a pathway to better managed Extractive Resourc...

Corporate Social Responsibility?

This volume presents corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a series of economic and political strategies that are currently shifting the focus of international human rights activism and signalling the rise of new forms of global governance. In as much as the work demonstrates the limitations of CSR and offers a critical perspective on corporate techniques of market domination, it also posits a future for CSR within the human rights movement.

Infrastructures financées par des ressources naturelles

Depuis quelques dizaines d’années, les pays en développement riches en ressources naturelles utilisent ces dernières en tant que garanties pour obtenir accès à des sources de financement pour leurs investissements et contourner les obstacles qu’ils rencontrent lorsqu’ils s’efforcent d’obtenir des prêts traditionnels auprès des banques ou des capitaux sur les marchés financiers. Différents modèles de financement sont issus de ces efforts, parmi lesquels le modèle des infrastructures financées par des ressources naturelles (IFR) qui est une variante des modèles de prêts garantis par le pétrole lancés en Afrique par plusieurs banques occidentales. Dans le cadre d’une...

Infraestruturas financiadas por recursos naturais

Nas últimas décadas, os países em desenvolvimento ricos em recursos têm utilizado os seus recursos naturais como garantia colateral para ter acesso a fontes de financiamento para o investimento, contrabalançando assim as barreiras com que se deparam no acesso a empréstimos bancários convencionais e a mercados de capital. Um dos modelos de financiamento que surgiu desta situação foi o modelo de Infraestruturas Financiadas por Recursos (RFI), uma adaptação dos anteriores modelos de empréstimos garantidos pelo petróleo promovidos por vários bancos ocidentais em à?frica. Num acordo de RFI, o empréstimo para a construção de uma infraestrutura é titularizado pelo valor actual l...

Gouverner les ressources naturelles autrement

Les observateurs indépendants au Cameroun militent pour l’ouverture du contrôle de la gestion des ressources naturelles aux acteurs autres que l’État à travers le contrôle citoyen de l’action publique. Depuis deux décennies, ces derniers ont développé et mobilisent à cet effet des outils et approches éprouvés dans plusieurs domaines de la gestion des ressources naturelles. Cette internalisation progressive des forces de changement de la gouvernance de l’État et des ressources naturelles reste à parachever. Pour ce faire, des garanties légales et institutionnelles doivent être mises en place. Les auteurs mettent en débat des options dont celle d’un « Ombudsman » ou « Médiateur » des ressources naturelles mis en place au bout d’un processus négocié dans les conditions de participation et d’équité afin de contribuer au développement durable et à la (re) construction de l’État.

The Wild East bridges political economy and anthropology to examine a variety of il/legal economic sectors and businesses such as red sanders, coal, fire, oil, sand, air spectrum, land, water, real estate, procurement and industrial labour. The 11 case studies, based across India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, explore how state regulative law is often ignored and/or selectively manipulated. The emerging collective narrative shows the workings of regulated criminal economic systems where criminal formations, politicians, police, judges and bureaucrats are deeply intertwined. By pioneering the field-study of the politicisation of economic crime, and disrupting the wider literature on South Asia’s...

Engendering Climate Change

This book focuses on the gendered experiences of environmental change across different geographies and social contexts in South Asia and on diverse strategies of adapting to climate variability. The book analyzes how changes in rainfall patterns, floods, droughts, heatwaves and landslides affect those who are directly dependent on the agrarian economy. It examines the socio-economic pressures, including the increase in women’s work burdens both in production and reproduction on gender relations. It also examines coping mechanisms such as male migration and the formation of women’s collectives which create space for agency and change in rigid social relations. The volume looks at perspectives from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal to present the nuances of gender relations across borders along with similarities and differences across geographical,socio-cultural and policy contexts. This book will be of interest to researchers and students of sociology, development, gender, economics, environmental studies and South Asian studies. It will also be useful for policymakers, NGOs and think tanks working in the areas of gender, climate change and development.
