“…In an important analysis, Bebbington et al (2017) have proposed political settlements analysis (PSA) as one way of doing this. PSA seeks to shed new light on the causes of development outcomes by bringing together ideas from the new institutional economics (NIE) and critical political economy.…”

“…Yet, the primary programmatic concern of this plan is the increase in negative public opinion about mining. Thus, the government launched a campaign to provide information about the differences between illegal and informal operations and announced its adherence to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) to make the contribution of the mining sector to the economy more transparent to the public (see Bebbington et al, 2016). To enhance the management of public information on mining, the government issued decree 1258 (Decreto 1258, 2013) to restructure the UPME and improve the system for information management, the mining cadastre, and the mining registry.…”

Scholars of mining policies are beginning to understand how the most recent boom in commodity prices (2000–2014) influenced the institutional development of the mining sector in Latin America. We contribute to this literature by studying the design, dynamics, and outcomes of interorganizational coordination in Colombia and Ecuador. Our findings show that, despite their divergent policies, both countries failed to integrate the mining sector's three main policy games—formalizing artisan and small‐scale operations, increasing the number of large‐scale projects, and tackling illegal extraction. Several characteristics of the design of coordination initiatives influenced policy failure—the reliance on hierarchy mechanisms to motivate coordination, the lack of specificity of the coordination mandates, and the lack of specific resources for coordination. Contextual factors also shaped the dynamics and outcomes of coordination. The limited geographical spread of artisanal and small‐scale mining and of illegal extraction, the environmental sector's weakness, and the creation of a multilayered structure for public‐sector coordination contributed to policy effectiveness in Ecuador. On the other hand, the ample spread of artisanal and small‐scale mining and of illegal extraction, the lack of a clear coordinating structure, and the environmental sector's growing vigor contributed to sustained policy failure in Colombia.

“…Also beginning under the Toledo administration, Peru signed up to become a member of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), and in 2011 it became the first country in the Americas to be deemed compliant with the standards of this voluntary reporting programme. Among the four countries in this study, Peru was the third to join EITI (after Zambia and Ghana); Bolivia has not yet joined (Bebbington et al, 2017). Under the EITI, a majority of large mining and oil companies in Peru agreed to open their books to an independent evaluation and publish the amounts that they pay in taxes to the state.…”

Proposals for more effective natural resource governance emphasize the importance of institutions and governance, but say less about the political conditions under which institutional change occurs. This book synthesizes findings regarding the political drivers of institutional change in extractive industry governance. The authors analyse resource governance from the late nineteenth century to the present in Bolivia, Ghana, Peru, and Zambia. They focus on the ways in which resource governance and national political settlements interact. Special attention is paid to the nature of elite politics, the emergence of new political actors, forms of political contention, changing ideas regarding natural resources and development, the geography of natural resource deposits, and the influence of the transnational political economy of global commodity production. National elites and subnational actors are in continuous contention over extractive industry governance. Resource rents are used by elites to manage this contention and incorporate actors into governing coalitions and overall political settlements. Periodically, new resource frontiers are opened, and new political actors emerge with the power to redefine how extractive industries are governed and used as instruments for development. Colonial and post-colonial histories of resource extraction continue to give political valence to ideas of resource nationalism that mobilize actors who challenge existing institutional arrangements. The book is innovative in its focus on the political longue durée, and the use of in-depth, comparative, country-level analysis in Africa and Latin America, to build a theoretical argument that accounts for both similarity and divergence between these regions.
