There is a new determination to improve the benefits of extractive industries to their host countries, and to strengthen the sector's governance. \u003cem\u003eExtractive Industries\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Addison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198817363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198817369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.90d","brand":"Tony Addison","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43914246717695,"sku":"9780198817369","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c052ab0e-f657-4268-8adc-6122c1b77232.jpg?v=1680641190","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/extractive-industries-tony-addison-9780198817369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
