A new phase is emerging in the relationship between energy and
resource activities and the communities that are affected by them.
Any energy or resource project - a mine, a wind farm, a dam for
hydroelectricity, or a shale gas development - will involve a mix
of impacts and benefits for communities. For many years, the law
has mediated impacts on communities and provided for the
distribution of financial benefits. Now, there is growing awareness
of the need to consider not only a wider range of costs and
benefits for communities from energy and resource projects, but
also the effects on communities at multiple scales and in complex
ways. Sharing the costs and benefits of natural resource activity
has now become a legal requirement for energy and resource projects
operating in many jurisdictions, particularly in developing
countries. This book uses cases studies from across the globe to
examine the emergence of such legal measures, their advantages and
disadvantages, and the improvements that may be feasible in the
legal frameworks used to distribute the costs and benefits of
energy and resources activity. The book has three parts: Part I
considers general legal and conceptual frameworks; Part II
addresses the mechanisms available to distribute costs and
benefits; and Part III considers the role of public engagement and
participation in the sharing of the costs and benefits from energy
and resource projects.
