This study examines the consequences of mining on indigenous populations from a social, cultural, and economic perspective. The years 2005–2020, when mining projects in the area were active, are the focus of the research.A decision-making model is used to handle the difficulties and complexity of mining in this setting. This approach combines economic and mathematical concepts to maximize mining projects with respect for indigenous populations' interests. The study uncovers the many impacts of mining development on local indigenous people via in-depth data analysis, stakeholder participation, and field research. Land ownership, cultural preservation, economic viability, and ecological stability are highlighted. The findings highlight indigenous populations' difficulties, such as relocation, cultural loss, and environmental destruction.The results also highlight the significance of indigenous people's social well- being prioritized in decision-making processes alongside economic factors. The research shows that ethical mining operations that adhere to these guidelines might lessen the industry has toll on society.This study helps policymakers, mining firms, and other stakeholders better understand the social effects of mining on indigenous people in Southeast Asia.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47848,"journal":{"name":"Extractive Industries and Society-An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140123266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since these employment impacts vary considerably across the US, policies must be tailored to local contexts. We develop an analytical approach to help policymakers understand the localized opportunities and challenges that energy workers may face. We first estimate the exposure of local labor markets to job displacement in fossil fuel extraction, transportation, processing, and electricity industries. We then assess the extent to which the skill sets of fossil energy workers match similarly-paying jobs with high growth in their local labor markets. We document substantial differences across local labor markets in terms of fossil fuel workforce demographics, their current job skills, and how well these skills align with those for in-demand jobs over the coming decade. We find that other than most technical skills, skills important for fossil fuel jobs typically differ from those necessary for fast-growing occupations with similar levels of pay, many of which require extensive service-oriented and management skills. Our methodology and associated analytical tools can be readily used to provide locally tailored information about skills mismatches between the existing fossil energy workforce and in-demand sectors, suggesting areas where workforce development may bear the most fruit.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47848,"journal":{"name":"Extractive Industries and Society-An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214790X23001855/pdfft?md5=1134959d2ba8937aaf66195cf3e183c8&pid=1-s2.0-S2214790X23001855-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140187678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on ethnographic research in the region, we show how organizers and activists working to defeat the proposed Pebble Mine respond to unceasing if often unpredictable pressures that arrive in a distinctively erratic, fast-yet-slow fashion. Our analysis explores the implications of this condition for everyday efforts to bring together and maintain what we conceptualize as an environmental public: a community whose composition speaks to certain spatial, temporal, and material features associated with natural resources as well as to the bureaucratic demands of the resource-regulating, extraction-oriented state. By joining scholarship on resource temporalities with that on material publics, we add to studies of action in the face of extractivism in highlighting the tremendous behind-the-scenes labor and dexterity required to sustain an environmental public through the vicissitudes of a drawn-out struggle, requirements that in this case give rise to an always-and-forever political subjectivity primed for perpetual vigilance. While we focus on the specificities of the Pebble fight, we argue that this subjectivity and its burdens are central to a growing number of environmental contests today, as conditions of vulnerability are broadened at the same time that responsibility for confronting them proves unevenly distributed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47848,"journal":{"name":"Extractive Industries and Society-An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140209475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This, however, has rarely been the case in developing countries. This has led many to implement resource-nationalist legal frameworks: to maximize public rents, secure strategic public ownership and facilitate local value-addition. Implementation of Local Content (LC) policies has been the most prominent resource-nationalistic strategy pursued by developing countries to achieve these outcomes. But while important, LC policies themselves do not necessarily guarantee success. It is against this background that this study set out to explore experiences of LC strategy in Tanzania, a country with a lengthy history of development strategies linked to extractive industries, with a view to assessing its effectiveness in delivering socioeconomic gains. Assessment of the LC experience in Tanzania's extractive industries underscores the importance of continuously reviewing the (LC) legal framework to ensure that it continues to be facilitative, prioritize communities’ needs, provide a clearer demarcation of mandates for various government institutions that oversee its execution, enable meaningful participation of grassroots authorities in governing, and enhance enforcement of regulations. In Tanzania, there is a need to build a manufacturing base to catalyze local value-addition and establish a funding mechanism for local suppliers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47848,"journal":{"name":"Extractive Industries and Society-An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140013996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, in Latin America policies are rarely implemented – a reality that commonly leads conflicts to reignite. This introduction sheds light over this often overlooked issue. We focus on the politics of policy implementation – when and how social movements around extractive development have higher chances to favorably impact policy enforcement. To this end, we switch the attention from the strategies of social movements and their outcomes over policy implementation at the local level, to their cumulative impact on national-level policy. We argue for a comparative political economy approach that enables us to identify the systemic, intermediate, and short-term factors that impact the effect of movements on conflicts over policy implementation. Building on this approach, we propose three potential implementation outcomes – positive, status quo and rollback – depending on the degree to which they align with a movement's position. We conclude highlighting the contributions of the articles in this issue to the politics of policy implementation and providing some insights for social movements’ course of action to protect their gains.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47848,"journal":{"name":"Extractive Industries and Society-An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140272037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Long mineral exploration, unemployment and poverty, non-compliance and enforcement of mining laws, inadequate compensation, and the compensation experience of farmers drove speculative developments in the mining landscape. The mines declared a mining area without prompt compensation and economically constrained poor locals.

Three IO models are utilized to deal with various economic impacts by treating the CES included in the endogenous sectors as an exogenous one. The impacts of a production or investment in the CES on inducing production, value-added, and wages in the national economy have been gradually increasing, which is interpreted as the result of the restructuring of the CES that the South Korean government has promoted over the past 20 years. However, the value-added coefficient, employment coefficient, and employment creation impact have gradually decreased, which seems to be due to the worsening profitability due to the gradual phasing out of the CES. Both the impact of production disruptions in the CES on other sectors’ production and the impact of a change in the output price of the CES on that of other sectors have been gradually decreasing. Thus, the government can continue to phase out the CES without creating the burden of production disruptions and inflationary pressure in the national economy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47848,"journal":{"name":"Extractive Industries and Society-An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139985233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
