Abstract

Proposals for more effective natural resource governance emphasise the importance of institutions and governance, but say less about the political conditions under which institutional change occurs. 'Governing Extractive Industries' synthesises findings regarding the political drivers of institutional change in extractive industry governance. It analyses resource governance from the late 19th century to the present in Bolivia, Ghana, Peru and Zambia, focusing on the ways in which resource governance and national political settlements interact.

Abstract

L'Antarctique, continent jadis oublié, est devenu un sujet de premier ordre dans le contexte actuel des relations internationales. Aux préoccupations juridiques, politiques et stratégiques se sont jointes par la suite les préoccupations économiques, notamment celles concernant l'exploration et l'exploitation des ressources minérales. Le silence du Traité sur l'Antarctique à cet égard a posé le problème de l'approche à suivre pour combler cette lacune, source potentielle de conflits dans la région. Il a fallu harmoniser aussi bien les intérêts des pays possessionnés que ceux des pays non possessionnés, sans perdre de vue, en même temps, les intérêts de la Communauté internationale. Le résultat de ces accommodements a été la Convention sur la Réglementation des activités relatives aux ressources minérales de l'Antarctique du 2 juin 1988, instrument qui est analysé en détail par l'auteur. La Convention, négociée dans la difficile complexité antarctique et dans une atmosphère de confrontation Nord/Sud et Sud/Sud, constitue un vrai défi pour la continuité du système. C'est dans ce contexte que certains pays en développement ont mené la bataille pour accorder à l'Antarctique le statut de « patrimoine commun de l'humanité ». Cet instrument représente l'un des meilleurs textes juridiques élaborés jusqu'à nos jours. Les intérêts économiques des Parties consultatives n'ont pas empêché une réelle préoccupation pour la protection de l'environnement et les intérêts de la Communauté internationale. L'équilibre ainsi réussi est tout à fait remarquable.

Abstract

"The Law of the Seabed reviews the most pressing legal questions raised by the use and protection of natural resources on and underneath the world's seabeds. While barely accessible, the seabed plays a major role in the Earth's ecological balance. It is both a medium and a resource, and is central to the blue economy. New uses and new knowledge about seabed ecosystems, and the risks of disputes due to competing interests, urge reflection on which regulatory approaches to pursue. The regulation of ocean activities is essentially sector-based, and the book puts in parallel the international and national regimes for seabed mining, oil and gas, energy generation, bottom fisheries, marine genetic resources, carbon sequestration and maritime security operations, both within and beyond the national jurisdiction. The book contains seven parts respectively addressing the definition of the seabed from a multidisciplinary perspective, the principles of jurisdiction delimitation under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the regimes for use of non-living, living and marine biodiversity resources, the role of state and non-state actors, the laying and removal of installations, the principles for sustainable and equitable use (common heritage of mankind, precaution, benefit sharing), and management tools to ensure coexistence between activities as well as the protection of the marine environment".

Abstract

People have been digging in the ground for useful minerals for thousands of years. Mineral materials are the foundation of modern industrial society. As the global population grows and standards of living in emerging and developing countries rises, the demand for mineral products is increasing. Mining ensures that we have an adequate supply of the raw materials to produce all the components of modern life, and at competitive prices. Innovation is central to meeting the diverse challenges faced by the mining industry. It is critical for developing techniques for finding new deposits of minerals, enabling us to recover increasing amounts of minerals from the ground in a cost-effective manner, and ensuring it this is done in a way that is as environmentally responsible. This book provides the first in-depth global analysis of the innovation ecosystem in the mining sector. This book is Open Access.
