Spaces of Responsibility explores the role of ethics in
(re)ordering extractive relations under the global condition.
Through an empirical investigation of actors, places, and ideas in
and around Burkina Faso's industrial gold mining sector, this
volume carries out an anti-essentialist yet critical examination,
offering new insights into global mining capitalism. Corporate
concession-making practices, the implementation of (national)
mining legislation, and civil society interventions in mining areas
all contribute in different ways to the dialectics of the global.
Accordingly, the ongoing territorialization of mining investment
often has considerable impacts on the well-being of populations in
the Global South. At the same time, multinational corporations
today cannot completely distance or isolate themselves from the
political, economic, and social contexts they are interacting in
and with. Drawing on theoretical debates about the links between
resource extraction and socio-economic development, multi-scalar
negotiations of ethics in mining governance are ethnographically
retraced. In terms of gains and benefits, these negotiations
manifest themselves spatially, providing access for some actors
while excluding others.
