dc.descriptionFrench version available in IDRC Digital Library: Ressources minières en Afrique : quelle réglementation pour le développement?en
dc.description.abstractAfrica is rich in those minerals needed by Western economies, yet the mining industry contributes very little to African development. Investigating the impact of the 2003 Extractive Industries Review on a number of African countries, the contributors find that a key dimension of the problem lies in the regulatory frameworks imposed by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. The aim is to convince academics, governments, and industry that regulation needs to be reformed to create a mining industry favourable to social and economic development and environmental protection. The book takes a multidisciplinary approach and provides an historical perspective of each country.en
