wealth can provide a means, when properly used, for poorer nations
to decisively break with poverty by diversifying economies and
funding development spending. Extractive Industries: The Management
of Resources as a Driver of Sustainable Development explores the
challenges and opportunities facing developing countries in using
oil, gas, and mining to achieve inclusive change. While resource
wealth can yield prosperity it can also, when mismanaged, cause
acute social inequality, deep poverty, environmental damage, and
political instability. There is a new determination to improve the
benefits of extractive industries to their host countries, and to
strengthen the sector's governance. Extractive Industries provides
a comprehensive contribution to what must be done in this sector to
deliver development, protect often fragile environments from
damage, enhance the rights of affected communities, and support
climate change action. It brings together international experts to
offer ideas and recommendations in the main policy areas. With a
breadth of collective insight and experience, it argues that more
attention must be given to the development role of extractive
industries, and looks to the future to explain how action on
climate change will profoundly shape the sector's prospects.
This collection of essays provides a state-of-the-art examination
of the concepts and methods that can be used to understand poverty
dynamics. It does this from an interdisciplinary perspective and
includes the work of anthropologists, economists, sociologists, and
political scientists. The contributions included highlight the need
to conceptualise poverty from a multidimensional perspective and
promote Q-Squared research approaches, or those that combine
quantitative and qualitative research.
The first part of the book provides a review of the research on
poverty dynamics in developing countries. Part Two focuses on
poverty measurement and assessment, and discusses the most recent
work of world-leading poverty analysts. The third part focuses on
frameworks for understanding poverty analysis that avoid
measurement and instead utilize approaches based on social
relations and structural analysis.
There is widespread consensus that poverty analysis should focus
on poverty dynamics and this book shows how this idea can
practically be taken forward.
