Long description:
This timely Companion explores the dynamic relationship between inequality and the use and management of natural resources, highlighting the positive and negative interactions between the two. Within the Companion experts from economics and political science present new data, methodologies and narrative contributions that examine how inequality and inequity are fuelled by how we exploit and manage natural resources in the world economy.
Analysing inequality both within a country and at an international level, the Companion explores topics such as tropical land use change, affordable access to safe drinking water, mining governance, oil cartels, fiscal policy and unequal resource distribution. Contributors demonstrate that institutional quality is a prerequisite for the equitable use of natural resources, both domestically and internationally. The Companion advances our limited understanding of inequality and its relationship with the natural environment, including understudied areas such as gender and ethnicity.
The Elgar Companion on Inequality and Natural Resources is a crucial resource for scholars and students of the natural environment, international development, geography, politics and public policy and sociology. It will also benefit managers and actors responsible for managing and taxing natural resources and multilateral agencies who assist governments in managing their natural resource wealth.
This timely Companion explores the unique relationship between inequality and natural resource management, highlighting the positive and negative interactions between the two. Presenting new data, methodologies and narrative contributions from economic and political science disciplines, expert scholars examine the impact of natural resources on inequities in the world economy.
‘This book provides a far-reaching and much needed exploration of the crooked intersection between natural resource wealth and inequality. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, it tackles this problem in all its complexity, yielding original insights into why regions of exceptional natural wealth so often suffer from exceptional inequality. Policymakers, firms, activists, and citizens alike will find it invaluable.’
