Product Description
This volume investigates how mining affects societies and communities in Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan. As ex-Soviet states Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan share history culture and transitions to democracy. Most importantly both are mineral-rich countries on China’s frontier and epi-centres of resource extraction. This volume examines challenges communities in these countries encounter on the long journey through resource exploration extraction and mine closure. The book is organised into three related sections that travel from mine licensing and instigation to early anticipation of benefit through the realisation of social and environmental impacts to finite issues such as jobs monitoring dispute resolution and reclamation. Most originally each chapter will include a final section entitled Notes from the field that presents the voice of in-country researchers and stakeholders. These sections will provide local contextual knowledge on the chapter’s theme by practitioners from Mongolia and Central Asia. The volume thereby offers a distinctively grounded perspective on the tensions and benefits of mining in this dynamic region. Using Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan as case studies the volume reflects on the evolving challenges communities and societies encounter with resource extraction worldwide. The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of mining and natural resource extraction corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. | The Impact of Mining Lifecycles in Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan Political Social Environmental and Cultural Contexts
