Marc Notes: Originally published: 2012.; Includes bibliographical references and index.; 8; The extraction of minerals, oil and gas has a long history in development processes in North America, Europe, Latin America and Australasia. Will the extractive industry yield economic development or will its main gifts be ones of conflict, degradation and unequal forms of growth? This book explores this question.. Review Quotes: This book has a subtle combination of dealing with practical social problems of development and rich academic insights. The complex development and welfare challenges in the emerging and underdeveloped economies of Latin America, that have implications for institutional changes, are well presented. In the process, it exemplifies the case of social conflict in South America showing that the same research work can be replicated for other developing and emerging economies of the world. - Rupamanjari Sinha Ray, Area Chairperson, Economics Management Development Institute, India, Vision (16:1) 2012Biographical Note: Anthony Bebbington is Higgins Professor of Environment and Society and Director of the Graduate School of Geography at Clark University, USA.
