“…The Northern economy driven reforms in the post structural adjustment era institutionalized a private-capital driven rentierism and governance code that validated and normalized corporate self-regulation and depoliticization, with initiatives such as NEITI a quintessential example. Squaring with Omolade Adunbi's ( Adunbi, 2020 ) contribution to this section, Osuoka argues that the EITI and NEITI are a depoliticizing response to 1990s mobilizations for resource sovereignty and civic demands for democracy. Such institutionalization of resource struggles over-simplified the claims for broader control and redistribution by centering and delimiting them to transparency discourse.…”

“…Omolade Adunbi Adunbi, 2020 uses the examples of local NGOs active in the NEITI processes, particularly Civil Society Legislative Action center (CISLAC) and Publish What You Pay (PWYP) Nigeria, to demonstrate how local actors linked to transnational networks promote the reconfiguration of power and knowledge production to privilege the state and corporations. Ultimately the marginality of communities in sites of extraction is reinforced.…”

Highlights This special section ‘Beyond Transparency: rethinking the government of Extraction’ examines the relationship between international transparency discourse in the extractive sector, including as implemented through specific domestic protocols, and the persistent association of unaccountable government, socioeconomic injustice and ongoing environmental hazards associated with extractive firms and their operations. Contributors probe how transparency practices have been applied to oil and extractive sector ‘host states’ in the global South, in particular Nigeria, while the rent-seeking practices transparency discourse seeks to expose are rarely tied to corporate malfeasance in the North. Inspired by Nnimmo Bassey's contribution to this special section, we employ this introduction to consider global transparency discourse and regulatory regimes in the light of the full cost of extraction. Since the turn of the millennium attention to extraction's full costs have been largely overshadowed in policy discourse via global transparency regimes, notably The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.

“…The experience of Niger Delta residents has been studied and explained at various times from the perspectives of public institutions (Akinola & Wissink, 2018), private institutions (CSR Initiatives) (Eweje, 2007; Ite, 2004; Nwoke, 2021), and NGO or CSOs perspective (Adunbi, 2020; Annan & Edu-Afful, 2015; Denedo et al, 2019). These studies have been harshly critical of business practices, corporate social responsibility programs, weak accountability systems, inefficient regulatory frameworks, insufficient enforcement of laws and norms, and civil society's failure to participate in governance processes.…”

Spills by multinational petroleum corporations have scarred the Niger Delta and as a result, many residents are relocating, hence, the rise of abandoned idled, and neglected infrastructures. The purpose of this study is to understand how neglected infrastructures have shaped the living conditions of people in the Niger Delta communities. Employing a phenomenological case study approach, this paper focuses on the lived experiences of the Niger Delta people of Nigeria to explain the correlation between oil exploration activities and abandoned or neglected infrastructures. Contributing to the theoretical perspective on sustainability, development, and infrastructural issues, this study finds that corruption, poor governance, lack of accountability, laws, finances, resources, and education are also factors promoting the rise of abandoned infrastructures in the Niger Delta. The findings of this study provide crucial insights to government, policymakers, and environmental justice advocates who may consider using the discussions to address socio-economic issues in developing countries.

“…La misma lógica puede aplicarse a las difíciles negociaciones entre las autoridades y los combatientes que renunciaron a la lucha armada amparados en el programa de amnistía que se inició en 2009. Es muy posible que los pagos por permanecer en casa ('sit-at-home fees', como son conocidos popularmente) (Adunbi, 2010), tengan un efecto meramente temporal. Aun así, no llegan a los rangos más bajos de los grupos insurgentes ni ayudan a adoptar un estilo de vida más pacífico a las personas que han aprendido a socializar a través de las armas.…”

Este libro se ha enfocado en la evolución institucional y la economía política de la gestión pública en contextos de abundancia de extractivos. No hemos discutido de manera explícita las consecuencias de estas políticas sobre el desarrollo, específicamente en términos de desigualdad, pobreza, exclusión política, violencia y medio ambiente. Sin embargo, la idea de que existe una correlación entre la dependencia de los recursos naturales y un bajo nivel de desarrollo sí ha estado presente de manera implícita a lo largo de toda nuestra discusión. En este capítulo, procederemos a revisar la evidencia que apunta en esta dirección.
