Product Description

Product Description
Examining the positive and negative socio-economic impacts of artisanal and small-scale mining in developing countries, this text covers a wide range of issues and case studies of interest to those in the field.

From the Back Cover

The purpose of this book is to examine both the positive and negative socioeconomic impacts of artisanal and small-scale mining in developing countries. In recent years, a number of governments have attempted to formalize this rudimentary sector of industry, having come to grips with its socioeconomic importance. However, the industry continues to be plagued with a wide range of problems, including environmental and health-related impacts, rampant illegal activity and illicit mineral marketing, and disease.

The book provides an up-to-date overview of the social and economic conditions in the artisanal and small-scale mining industry, integrating both theoretical assessments with case study research recently undertaken in the field. It features the following five sections: 1) Policy and Regulatory Issues in the Small-Scale Mining Industry; 2) Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining, Labour and the Community
3) African Case Studies of Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining; 4) Asian Case Studies of Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining; and 5) Latin American Case Studies of Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining.

Geared toward servicing a wide-ranging audience, including academics, consultants, and government researchers, The Socioeconomic Impacts of Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining in Developing Countries is an invaluable tool for policy-makers at all levels.

First Sentence
A report produced by the South African Branch of the recently-concluded Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development (MMSD) project, states that, artisanal and small-scale mining is "typically practised in the poorest and most remote rural areas by a largely itinerant, poorly educated populace, men, and women with few employment alternatives" (MMSD, 2002).
