Global Governance: A Review of Multilateralism and International Organizations, vol. 17, issue 2, April/June 2011
The Governance of Extractive Resources
Guest Editor: Gilles Carbonnier
Details: This issue of Global Governance focuses on the global governance of extractive resources. Largely shaped by the energy-security agenda of industrialized countries, it is patchy and does not properly address the specific concerns of producer, consumer, and transit countries. Rising demand coincides with a looming peak of oil production and climate change.
Directed by Gilles Carbonnier, this interdisciplinary issue looks at how extractive industries, investors, civil society, international organizations, and consumer countries can jointly provide significant political and market incentives to avert the resource curse in resource-rich, but weak states. The articles are available online.
