The mineral economies comprise approximately one-fifth of
developing countries. They face special problems in achieving
sustainable development, and have as a group been less successful
than resource-deficient neighbours. This book examines the apparent
paradox, detailing the current problems facing the mineral
economies and the future policies necessary to overcome these
problems. Nine countries are studied: Botswana, Chile, Colombia,
Indonesia, Jamaica, Namibia, Papua New Guinea, Peru, and Trinidad
and Tobago. The authors argue that the key factor is not the
sustainability of the mineral production that initially generates
growth, but the maintenance of the economic and social conditions
for sustaining that growth. They draw upon recent progress in
environmental and natural resource accounting to show how this can
be achieved, and also assess the socio-political factors that often
constrain sustainable development.
