This book takes a fresh approach to the puzzle of sub-Saharan
Africa's resource curse. Moving beyond current scholarship's
state-centric approach, it presents cutting-edge evidence gathered
through interviews with mining company executives and industry
representatives to demonstrate that firms are actively controlling
the regulation of the gold mining sector. It shows how large mining
firms with significant private authority in South Africa, Ghana and
Tanzania are able to engender rules and regulations that are
acknowledged by other actors, and in some cases even adopted by the
state. In doing so, it establishes that firms are co-governing
Africa's gold mining sector. By exploring the implications for
resource-cursed states, this significant work argues that firm-led
regulation can improve governance, but that many of these
initiatives fail to address country/mine specific issues where
there remains a role for the state in ensuring the benefits of
mining flow to local communities. It will appeal to economists,
political scientists, and policy-makers and practitioners working
in the field of mining and extractives.
