Extractive Bargains: Natural Resources and the State-Society Nexus [Hardcover]

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.  Part I: Theorizing and Contextualizing Extractive Bargains.- Chapter 1:Extractive Bargains and the State-Society Nexus: One World, Many Bargains.- Chapter 2: From Extractivism to Sustainability: Scenarios and Lessons from Latin America.- Chapter 3: Extractive Bargains and Indigenous Peoples: A Comparative Perspective.- Part II: Global North Case Studies.- Chapter 4: The Legacy of Swedens Social Democratic State for Extractive Bargains with Indigenous Sami Reindeer Herding Communities.- Chapter 5: Extractive Settler Colonialism: Navigating Extractils#
