“…Regional income ideally follows Indonesia Law Number 28/2009 regarding local taxation and charging [56]. RA, normatively, brings efficiency, transparency, and accountability in governing people and attracts business; unfortunately, numerous studies have shown that these local regulations are counterproductive in some aspects, including for the agricultural sector and environment [57][58][59], particularly in the forestry sector [60,61].…”

This study focuses on land cover and land management changes in relation to food security and environmental services in a semi-arid area of East Nusa Tenggara (ENT), Indonesia. The study was conducted in the Central Sumba District of ENT province. A classification and regression tree (CART) for land cover classification was analyzed using machine learning techniques through the implementation of the Google Earth Engine. A Focus Group Discussion (FGD) survey followed by in-depth interviews was conducted for primary data collection, involving a total of 871 respondents. The socio-economic data were statistically analyzed descriptively using non-parametric tests. The study showed that (1) there has been a substantial change in land use during the devolution era that has both positive and negative implications for food security and environmental services; (2) there has been population pressure in fertile and agricultural land as a direct impact of the development of city infrastructure; and (3) national intervention through the Food Estate program has fostered and shaped land use change and land management in the Central Sumba District. The study highlights the importance of the devolution spirit in aiding the management of limited arable/agricultural land in predominantly semi-arid areas to ensure food security and environmental services.

“…The lack of adherence to international standards of good practice from either side may quickly turn into actual conflict. Conflicts, indeed, surround a substantial number of mining operations, where the parties involved show little interest in building mutually beneficial agreements (Sukri et al, 2020).…”

Historically, diplomacy has been an inherent aspect of international commerce and trade. Diplomacy has evolved, providing innovative tools and a theoretical foundation to conceptualise International Business Diplomacy (IBD). Despite numerous success stories, there is little awareness of how IBD may assist Managers of Multinational Enterprises (MNEs), specifically in some crucial sectors. One of those sectors is the mining industry. This paper proposes enhancing IBD as a valuable area for providing value to MNEs in their relationships with different stakeholders, emphasising sustainability issues. After a brief review of the literature, we propose a working definition for international business diplomacy. Then, we describe the mining industry and the factors that create a need for private diplomatic intervention. Afterward, we move the discussion to Latin America, presenting the methodology and findings of our investigation. The final remarks share some findings that may help managers of MNEs operating in emerging markets.

“…Moreover, the environment in the region is threatened by huge direct and/or indirect impacts on the whole ecosystem. Some are very common and evident in mining areas such as land changes [45,49], destruction of grasslands [19,50], rivers and sources pollution [51], destruction of agricultural areas, and the decrease of its productions [46,52], and so on, negatively affecting the means of subsistence of the populations, causing the scarcity of certain essential resources (water, food) and degrading (decreasing) the quality of life in the whole region. This statement on the tensions surrounding conflicts linked to mining activities has been mentioned by the community leader in Kolaboui and reported by PACV as following:…”

Mining conflicts are among the most widespread issues linked to natural resources development and management in mineral-rich countries. Guinea mining industries development presents a huge challenge in promoting integrated, prosperous, peaceful, and sustainable mining. The scramble of companies to exploit bauxite in the Boké region is correlated with a wave of protests and violent conflicts. This article explores the reasons for the resurgence of conflicts in the Guinea Republic, proposes some strategies for better mining conflicts prevention, management in Boke region. Thus, through a survey carried out in 7 Municipalities of the region and other mining localities of the country, we use a quantitative approach through descriptive statistic elements to identify the causes of the outburst of the conflict in Boke which seriously hinders the climate of socioeconomic activities for local development. The outcomes of this study reveal that youth employment, water and electricity supply, the weakness in the management of compensation mechanism are the main reasons for conflict escalation in Boke. Although, solutions proposed by the state and some NGOs appear to be hopeful. However, better management of public services and good governance based on more innovative public-private partnerships, and changes in government policy to better benefit the local communities could solve these problems holistically. The implementation of a better strategy (approach) in the management of relations with the surrounding communities by considering the depths and the sociohistorical, cultural, economic characteristics of the region would guarantee an environment of peaceful cohabitation between the local communities and the companies.
