In recent years, governments in many informal mining regions have increasingly relied on military forces to curb the environmental damage attributed to these unregulated practices. Although military action has gained popularity as a rapid-response strategy, its effectiveness in addressing informal mining remains limited. Drawing on the theory of unintended consequences and field data from southwestern Ghana, this study provides new evidence that military interventions, rather than curtailing informal mining, inadvertently drive miners to relocate to undisturbed areas, exacerbating environmental degradation. Miners adapt to military actions by moving to new sites, with mechanized operations significantly accelerating ecological harm. To illustrate this complex dynamic, the study introduces the <em>Intervention and Environmental Expansion (IEE) Framework</em>, demonstrating how ongoing military interventions can inadvertently intensify mining activities and environmental damage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47848,"journal":{"name":"Extractive Industries and Society-An International Journal","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 101712"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144471812","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}

Using the full-time equivalent employment (FTE) data for nine years (2014 to 2022) in 21 industries (including mining) in 13 of South Africa’s intermediate city municipalities (ICMS), we looked at how employment in mining affects demand, and hence employment, in other sectors. Jobs in mining had a small but significant effect on accommodation and food services and on jobs linked to household employer activities. We found that, contrary to some international findings, jobs in mining had no effect on jobs in the wholesale and retail trade sector. However, in line with the international literature, we found that jobs in mining had no effect on jobs in the manufacturing sector, suggesting that there are not many backward and forward linkages between those two sectors, and that jobs in mining actually crowded out jobs in agriculture, but why this happened is not clear.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47848,"journal":{"name":"Extractive Industries and Society-An International Journal","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 101714"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144471813","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}

The involvement of external actors, particularly International Oil Companies (IOCs), highlights the complexities of navigating geopolitical interests in a region marked by political fragmentation and resource dependency. As both Iraq and the KRG rely heavily on oil revenues, the struggle for control over petroleum resources has escalated into a broader political and economic conflict, drawing in international stakeholders and exacerbating regional instability. This study examines the interplay of internal and external dynamics in the Iraq-KRG conflict, emphasizing the challenges faced by external actors and the implications of resource competition on governance and sovereignty.

Eligibility criteria included focus on mental health among mining workers and incorporation of gender as a central or intersecting variable. Studies were examined across three dimensions: methodological characteristics, analytical focus (outcomes, risks, instruments), and critical findings. Quality was appraised using CASP and START tools. Results: Mining work was consistently associated with adverse mental health outcomes, including depression, anxiety, and psychological distress. Psychosocial risks—such as work-family conflict, harassment, job insecurity, and organizational injustice—were more intense for women. Gender analyses were inconsistently applied, and few studies proposed interventions. Qualitative studies offered insights into structural inequalities, while quantitative research provided prevalence data but often lacked intersectional depth. Conclusion: Mental health risks in extractive industries are profoundly gendered, influenced by occupational, cultural, and institutional factors. Improving mental health policies in mining demands gender-sensitive approaches, inclusive practices, and investment in longitudinal, participatory research tailored to diverse mining contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47848,"journal":{"name":"Extractive Industries and Society-An International Journal","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 101710"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144322348","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}

Not only did this high-altitude zone become part of Chilean territory as a result of the War of the Pacific (1879–1884); it was also annexed into the global mining and natural resource extraction circuits that supplied the world’s major industrial centers, demonstrating the key role of this salt flat in perpetuating the logic of mining colonization pursued a certain foreign mining consortium. This article focuses on the early period of borax production, which not only required logistical infrastructure but also had a severe ecological impact. The emergence of extractivism in Ascotán can be broken down into four main aspects: 1) the reshaping of the territory as a result of the war, 2) the extraction and sale of its natural resources, 3) corporate profit amassed thanks to tax exemptions, and 4) unencumbered access to the salt flat’s surrounding ecosystems, particularly the impacts on and decimation of yareta (<em>Azorella compacta</em>) reserves in those areas. This process was a component of what we call an ecological subsidiarity, which resulted in the legal use and decimation of ecosystems, which were redefined as resources for the purpose of satisfying the demand for minerals. This demonstrates how extractivism was able to burst onto the scene in an arid, high-altitude region that has been misunderstood as an isolated periphery of capitalist expansion in northern Chile.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47848,"journal":{"name":"Extractive Industries and Society-An International Journal","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 101695"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144231761","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}

While some have expanded state control—ranging from policies that directly influence production and fiscal regimes to largely “rhetorical” nationalization—others have maintained market-oriented approaches. What would explain these divergent responses despite their shared economic incentives—such as fiscal revenue generation, industrial upgrading, and political gains—for greater state control? This study introduces a two-stage decision-making framework that sequentially integrates economic, geopolitical, and political dynamics under the broader analytical lens of resource nationalism to explain lithium governance variation across Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, and Mexico. First, global commodity price cycles and strategic competition create external pressures and opportunities for state intervention, the effects of which are mediated by the industrial maturity of each country’s lithium sector. Second, domestic political settlements ultimately determine the extent and form of state involvement. This theory-informed, sequenced, and structured comparative explanation underscores the need to recognize the complex and diverse nature of lithium governance regimes across Latin America.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47848,"journal":{"name":"Extractive Industries and Society-An International Journal","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 101697"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144221206","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}
