“…Ross dalam Gamu et al (2015) juga menyebutkan bahwa sektor pertambangan akan memperburuk ketimpangan pendapatan karena tenaga kerja dari sektor pertanian dan manufaktur tidak serta merta dapat terserap di sektor pertambangan yang sedang booming. Perubahan struktur ekonomi ini akan mengakibatkan pengangguran dan merubah pola distribusi pendapatan.…”

East Kalimantan Province is the largest producer of natural resources in AbstrakProvinsi Kalimantan Timur merupakan provinsi penghasil sumber daya alam terbesar di Indonesia. Akibat proses eksploitasi yang massive dan nilai yang tinggi, sektor pertambangan sangat mendominasi perekonomian daerah tersebut.Dari sekian banyak sumber daya alam yang ada di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur, batubara adalah yang paling besar kontribusinya terhadap perekonomian. Terkait kondisi tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh kekayaan sumber daya alambatubara terhadap

“…De acordo com essa perspectiva, a elevada dependência das economias nacionais de recursos naturais, principalmente do ponto de vista das exportações, poderia ser associada a uma menor taxa de crescimento. Esse processo seria inerente ao setor extrativo mineral e se relacionaria com a deterioração dos termos de troca, com a elevada volatilidade dos preços dos recursos minerais no mercado internacional, com a falta de encadeamento das atividades extrativas e com a formação de enclaves econômicos (Auty, 2001;Gamu et al, 2015;Power, 2002).…”

Artigo recebido em 22 de novembro de 2016, versão final aceita em 26 de junho de 2017. RESUMO:Neste texto, argumenta-se que, no contexto brasileiro, a mineração de grande escala gera significativos impactos ambientais e consideráveis desafios à dinamização da economia local. Este argumento, é apresentado a partir de estudo de caso em Itabira (MG); a pesquisa identifica sérios problemas ambientais e sociais na cidade, além de dificuldades estruturais da promoção de políticas de diversificação econômica e de superação da dependência da atividade de extração mineral. A pesquisa foi realizada a partir de levantamento bibliográfico e entrevistas semi-estruturadas com informantes-chave. Ela trata da história de Itabira, a instalação da Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD), assim como aspectos sociais e econômicos do desenvolvimento local. O estudo sugere que existem questões econômicas, inerentes ao setor extrativista, que limitam o surgimento e consolidação de outros setores. Assim, entender em maior profundidade a dinâmica econômica de cidades do Quadrilátero Ferrífero torna-se imperativo para debater a superação do modelo baseado em extração mineral na região.Palavras-chave: mineração; desenvolvimento local, diversificação econômica. ABSTRACT:In this paper, it is argued that, in the Brazilian context, large-scale mining generates significant environmental impact and considerable challenges to the dynamization of the local economy. The argument is based on a case-study on Itabira (MG); the research indicates serious local environmental and social problems, in addition to structural difficulties in promoting policies for economic diversification and in overcoming its economic dependence on the mining sector. The research is based on literature review and semi-structured interviews with key-informants. It considers the history of Itabira, the installation of the Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD), as well as social and economic aspects of the local development. The study suggests there are economic issues intrinsic to the extractive sector that restrict the flourishing and consolidation of other sectors. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the economic dynamics of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero region becomes imperative to debate the overcoming of a development model based on mineral extraction.

“…However, as stressed by Bebbington et al (2008b), there is ambiguity in the relationship between the extractive industries and development. Much academic literature has centred on this ambiguity, such as the phenomenon of the resource curse 23 , the role of mining in instigating violence and conflict (notable scholars include Watts, 1983;Nixon, 2011), and how mining alleviates or exacerbates poverty at local and national scales (Lahonne, 2002;Pegg, 2006;Gamu et al, 2015).…”

“…Meanwhile, Pegg (2006) suggests that "mining is more likely to lead to poverty exacerbation than it is to poverty reduction" (p. 376). Furthermore, Gamu et al (2015) reviewed 52 empirical studies of possible linkages between extractive industries and poverty and discovered that industrial mining was frequently associated with poverty exacerbation, and artisanal mining 24 with poverty reduction. Many of these studies place focus on objective indicators, such as GDP and income, to measure impact on poverty levels.…”

Social impact assessment, social justice and scales of knowledge: exploring the emerging mining industry in Solomon Islands

This thesis examines power relations in the context of social impact assessment (SIA) as it is applied in the emerging mining industry in Solomon Islands. While the social impacts of large-scale mining in the Global South are well documented, little is known about how and why adverse social impacts continue to occur in the presence of numerous 'best practice' policy and planning tools, including SIA. This raises questions on the efficacy of SIA in identifying, contextualising and mitigating potential social impacts on communities affected by mining activity, particularly on traditional lands inhabited by indigenous peoples.This thesis presents a critical analysis of SIA to provide insight on this disparity in policy and practice, and to enhance sociological understanding on the interplay of globally-driven mining projects, the identification of social impacts, and the role of policy and institutions in cross-cultural contexts. The proposed extraction of nickel in Isabel Province, Solomon Islands, serves as the case study for this analysis. Employing the conceptual frameworks of social justice and political ecology, and drawing on six months' fieldwork in Solomon Islands, qualitative data from individual and group interviews (n=33) and document analysis (n=11) was collected across geopolitical scales -international, national, provincial and local -to compare and analyse perspectives of documents, institutions and people towards SIA and socially just development in the context of potential mining activity. Analysis of these perspectives exposed the extent to which SIA produces, reinforces and/or exacerbates, social injustices.Research findings identified the limits of SIA in: 1) recognising and accounting for indigenous identities and gender roles; 2) the unequal distribution of economic and other resources associated with the development of mining, including the privatisation of land and employment; and 3) representation of project-affected communities through consultation activities associated with SIA, including Free, Prior and Informed Consent. With political ecology as the foundation of this thesis, this thesis argues that these social injustices materialise as a result of a disparity, or mismatch, between knowledge frames across scales.While SIA is bounded to the rhetoric of social justice, consent and participation, this thesis demonstrates that Western expert knowledge and norms are interwoven into the SIA regime, rendering local experiential knowledge marginal. Reflecting this, a multiscale SIA approach is proposed to include consideration of different scales of knowledge systems, iii with outcomes that might assist to mitigate social injustices, such as those identified in this
