“…Of this purpose, the state usually has the roles of selection, delivery and stabilization. Nevertheless, the government's position tends to undergo ups and downs [11]. Neoliberalism strongly supports individual freedom, particularly in achieving material benefit, the inference being that the role of government, especially in the economic sector, is quite limited, as described by Chilcote (2000: 153): "Neoliberalism, as the traditional style of populism, stresses equality as regards human liberty and the promotion of economic benefit on the marketplace.…”

The detrimental impacts of mining include habitat degradation, contamination of the water, human rights abuses and the denying of the nature of common property. Several countries' experience indicates that natural-resource production, which is only exploitable, often ends in disappointment, both economically and environmentally. Although the mining industry still has the potential to improve welfare. Government regulations have indicated the division of authority to regions to be able to regulate themselves autonomously. So that way the people's wishes should be well appreciated with provisions that are not detrimental to society at large but still maintain environmental security, both politically and geographically. Since the mineral resources which is held is properly and wisely handled and can be a resource for enhancing the community's wellbeing

Does the Development Discourse Learn from History?

What is the nature and extent of historical awareness in the development discourse? Does the development discourse learn from history, including its own? Set in the contexts of aging development institutions and a changing geopolitical climate, this paper provides one account through a historiographical survey of 136 journal articles across 10 leading development journals. It uncovers a substantial body of works, which offer descriptive histories, derivative lessons, and historiographical critiques. Altogether, they evidence two modes in which the development discourse attempts to learn from history. The first lies in the proactive use of external histories as empirical evidence for a variety of development issues. This is the predominant mode exhibited in the survey. A second mode lies in the use of internal histories of the development discourse, itself. Here, the survey finds a number of noteworthy but largely disparate efforts. This suggests a relative dearth in historiographical selfconsciousness for a narrow but influential segment of the development discourse. A number of consequences are considered, ultimately responding to the legitimacy, efficacy, and sustainability of development action. In sum, our survey finds that the mainstream development journal discourse is adept at learning from external histories, but not necessarily from its own. Evidence, however, suggests that it can. A case is made for why it must.

“…These books, each with their own lexicon and specificities of argument, all share 'one common proposition: that politics and institutions are the crucial determinants of developmental outcomes' (Laws 2012: 20). The idea that development is a fundamentally political process has been long established and comes as little surprise to those that study the relationship between development and the extractive industry (Graulau 2008).…”

Corporate Social Responsibility and Political Settlements in the Mining Sector in Ghana, Zambia and Peru

This paper explores and compares the political effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the mining sector in Zambia, Ghana and Peru. The paper adopts a political settlements approach to answer the question: How do the CSR practices of mining companies affect local and national political settlements? After setting out the main tenets of the political settlements approach, this is articulated with literature on the politics of natural resource extraction and CSR. The paper then sets the wider context of the international drivers of increased attention to CSR in the extractive sector, before exploring the impact of the CSR practices of mining companies on the political settlement in Ghana, Peru and Zambia at the national and local levels. The final sections offer a comparative discussion of what the findings mean for understanding CSR's role in inclusive development and natural resource governance. The paper argues that recent increased CSR expenditure does not necessarily translate into development for those living near mining companies, particularly in contexts of exclusionary political settlements, of which all case studies exhibited characteristics. There are a great many institutional and contextual limitations placed on the ability of CSR to deliver development for affected communities. Across the case studies, the opportunities that CSR programmes afford tended to aimed at those with the greatest capacity to disrupt operations, rather than those with the greatest need. In concluding, I argue that, despite some obvious limitations, the political settlements approach can generate new insights through its focus on the politics of development, and, in particular, the politics of stability.
