About this book
This book is the first to focus on state-led ‘extractive bargains,’ designed to reach a social consensus on the extent of extractive activities, how they should be governed and their negative consequences mitigated. These state-led ‘bargains’ have taken a number of different forms and offer varying degrees of promise in meeting environmental and social concerns. The book critically examines ‘bargains’ in states across the Global North and the Global South, incorporates Indigenous issues, and judiciously assesses their prospects for promoting long-term sustainability. It focusses on mineral and fossil fuel extraction in particular including bargains designed to govern the former as the demand for minerals used in “green energy” increases and to limit the use of the latter.
The book will be of interest to students and researchers of global studies, global political economy, political science, political sociology, sustainability, environmental sociology, development studies and geography.Chapter 1 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
Reviews
“Extractivism has become an increasingly important concept in contemporary Global Development Studies. In this volume, Paul Bowles and Nathan Andrews present a highly sophisticated and nuanced framework of analysis to assess the varied role of the state in pursuit of extractive bargains. They have assembled an excellent team of scholars to assess sixteen case studies,from both Global North and South, representing a range of complex processes in state-society relations, including a broad assemblage of actors, power structures, institutions and coalitions. The book makes a major contribution to the burgeoning study of extractivisms, and illustrates in detail how extractive bargains in the state-society nexus do not have a singular or predetermined outcome.” (Barry K. Gills, Professor of Global Development Studies, Helsinki University, Finland)
“Through a collaborative methodology, Andrews, Bowles and volume contributors offer a conceptually innovative typology of the kinds of conditions that facilitate, normalize and constrict extractive activities within and between states. The chapters are empirically rich, allowing scholars and advanced students to interrogate the parallels and variations uniting diverse global examples, including successful instances of national bans on the extraction of fossil fuels and international bargains in support of Green New Deals. Highly recommended!” (Anna Zalik, Associate Professor, Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University, Toronto, Canada)
