This book intends to inform the key participants in extractive
projects - namely, the communities, the host governments and the
investors - about good practice for effective community engagement,
based on analysis of international standards and expectations,
lessons from selected case-studies and innovations in public
participation. The extent of extractive industries varies widely
around the Arctic as do governmental and social attitudes towards
resource development. Whilst most Arctic communities are united in
seeking investment to fund education, healthcare, housing,
transport and other essential services, as well as wanting to
benefit from improved employment and business opportunities, they
have different views as to the role that extractive industries
should play in this. Within each community, there are multiple
perspectives and the goal of public participation is to draw out
these perspectives and seek consensus. Part I of the book analyses
the international standards that have emerged in recent years
regarding public participation, in particular, in respect of
indigenous peoples. Part II presents six case studies that aim to
identify both good and bad practices and to reflect upon the
distinct conditions, needs, expectations, strategies and results
for each community examined. Part III explores the importance of
meaningful participation from a corporate perspective and
identifies some common themes that require consideration if Arctic
voices are to shape extractive industries in Arctic communities. In
drawing together international law and standards, case studies and
examples of good practice, this anthology is a timely and
invaluable resource for academics, legal advisors and those working
in resource development and public policy.
