This book brings the discourses around social justice and
sustainable development back into focus by looking at India’s
mining sector and the state’s frameworks for economic
development. The chapters in this volume analyse mining practices
in the mineral-rich areas of eastern India through various case
studies and highlight their immense human and environmental costs.
This volume critically analyses selected mining projects in India
that have resulted in large-scale displacements, impoverishment and
environmental degradation. It identifies the gaps in policy, its
implementation, and the lack of safeguards which threaten the
socio-economic and ecological ways of life and the livelihoods of
the local communities. Based on documents, reports, interviews and
field observations, this book engages with the issues surrounding
the mining sector, e.g., land acquisition, land use and
degradation, the politics of compensation, policies, agitation and
social mobilisation, health and agriculture, livelihood and gender.
It further provides an assessment of local political economies and
offers suggestive frameworks for inclusive growth in this sector.
This book will be of interest to students and researchers exploring
the disciplines of development studies, sociology, law and
governance, human ecology and economics.
