| Series: |
Social Policy in a Development Context Series |
| Description: |
An exploration of the implications of mineral-led wealth and the opportunities that this creates for economic and social development. The book includes theoretical and policy analyses as well as micro level country case studies, including Norway, Chile, Indonesia, Nigeria and Botswana. |
| Synopsis: |
Combining a theoretical approach with individual country case studies, this volume systematically analyses the relationship between mineral wealth, social development outcomes and social policy in developing countries. Chapters discuss how some countries manage to channel their resources into sustainable economic policies while others fail to do so; the factors that impede such investment; and whether boosting mineral rents can help promote democracy, social inclusion and economic development. This volume is unique and distinctive, moving beyond existing research to analyse the implications of natural resources for developing countries and focusing on the social and political implications of mineral rents. |
