Increased investment in the mining sector in Africa is often presented as a key strategy to leverage growth and development on the continent. It has been described as a "motor for growth", which will contribute to poverty reduction. Massive investment has taken place, but the results in crucial areas such as sustainable economic and social development have been extremely disappointing. These outcomes are most frequently attributed to dysfunctional internal governance processes, mismanagement and corruption. Much attention has been given in recent years to the issue of "the poor resource governance" in mineral rich countries. In this volume, academics, policy-makers and practitioners from Africa and beyond aim to achieve a better understanding of these issues by proposing a renewal of approaches. Discussing the cases of Ghana, Mali and the Democratic Republic of the Congo they explore new ways of thinking about issues concerning governance and revenue flows Notes Electronic book text Epublication based on: 9781137345967, 2013 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Bonnie Campbell is a Professor of Political Economy at the Department of Political Science at the University of Quebec in Montreal, Canada where she is Director of the Centre interdisciplinaire de recherche en developpement international et societe (CIRDIS) and also the Director of the Research Group on Mining Activities in Africa (Groupe de recherche sur les activites minieres en Afrique) Subject Mineral industries -- Capital investments -- Africa Mineral industries -- Africa Corporate governance -- Africa Mineral industries -- Africa -- Capital inventments -- Case studies Mineral industries -- Africa -- Management Mineral industries -- Africa -- Management -- Case studies Mines and mineral resources -- Africa Mines and mineral resources -- Africa -- Case studies Revenue -- Africa Revenue -- Africa -- Case studies Mine management -- Africa Mine management -- Africa -- Case studies Environmental management -- Ghana -- Mali -- Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) Mining industry -- Ghana -- Mali -- Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) Development studies -- Ghana -- Mali -- Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) Comparative politics -- Ghana -- Mali -- Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) Corporate governance Mineral industries Mineral industries -- Capital investments Mineral industries -- Management Mines and mineral resources Revenue Environmental management -- Ghana -- Mali -- Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) Agribusiness & primary industries -- Ghana -- Mali -- Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) Development studies -- Ghana -- Mali -- Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) Comparative politics -- Ghana -- Mali -- Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) Environment and Ecology.
