'This book should be read by anyone commissioning impact
assessments who wants to build their understanding of the more
progressive and innovative end of the topic. A job well done in the
eyes of stakeholders and regulators requires proper social
analysis.' - Jon Samuel, Head of Social Performance, Anglo American
'The list of authors reads like a who's who in SIA. Academics and
practitioners are equally represented among the authors. The book
provides a good mix of broad theoretical concepts and specific
practical topics.' - Martin Haefele, Manager, Environmental Impact
Assessment at Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board,
Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada 'This book gives a very
broad overview of where Social Impact Assessment is coming from,
where it is now and where it could go: from an impact assessment
tool to an impact management tool. It provides a realistic insight
in both the achievements and the struggles of Social Impact
Assessment. A recommended read for both those interested in Social
Impact Assessment and those in related domains where social issues
are gaining increasing importance, such as Environmental Assessment
and Sustainability Appraisal.' - Rob Verheem, Deputy Director,
Netherlands Commission for Environmental Assessment This important
new book outlines current developments in thinking in the field of
Social Impact Assessment (SIA). It advances the theory and practice
of SIA, and argues that a dramatic shift is required in the way
socioeconomic studies and community participation is undertaken.
The book emphasizes that, much more than the act of predicting
impacts in a regulatory context, SIA needs to be the process of
managing the social aspects of development and that there needs to
be a holistic and integrated approach to impact assessment. It
stresses that greater attention needs to be given to ensuring that
the goals of development are attained and enhanced. This
significant addition to the literature will be an invaluable
reference for academics, consultants and practitioners.
