Foreign Investment And Indigenous Peoples: Options For Promoting Equilibrium Between Economic Development And Indigenous Rights, George K. Foster
Michigan Journal of International Law
The quotations above refer to distinct conflicts that are widely separated by time and geography but remarkably similar in other respects. The first describes events leading to the Black Hills War of 1876, in which the U.S. Army forced the Lakota Sioux and Northern Cheyenne onto reservations to make way for gold mining by non-Indians. The second describes a violent episode in a conflict between native groups and the Peruvian government, which began in 2009 when the government took steps to expand mining and oil operations by multinational enterprises (MNEs) in the Peruvian Amazon. In both cases, outside commercial interests …
Essays On Economics Of Sustainable Forest Management, Pracha Koonnathamdee
Essays On Economics Of Sustainable Forest Management, Pracha Koonnathamdee
Doctoral Dissertations
Forests contain characteristics of market (timber and forest products) and non-market goods (e.g. ecosystem and environmental services, outdoor recreation).

Sustainable Forest Management (SFM), the global concept, is a challenging solution for forest uses and management combining social, economics, and environmental dimension. Due to several calls for research in SFM, particularly in trade in forest products and forest landowner behavior, this dissertation presents two empirical models with implications related to SFM. Because some SFM opponents believe that applying SFM will lessen trade transactions …

Aid, Conditionality, And War Economies, James K. Boyce
Aid, Conditionality, And War Economies, James K. Boyce
Economics Department Working Paper Series
When natural resource revenues provide an important motive and/or means for armed conflict, the transition from war peace faces three challenges: (i) ensuring that the benefits and costs of natural resource exploitation are distributed so as to ease rather than exacerbate social tensions; (ii) channeling revenues to peaceful and productive purposes; and (iii) promoting accountability and transparency in natural resource management. Aid conditionality can help to address these challenges provided that three prerequisites are met: (i) there are domestic parties with sufficient authority and legitimacy to strike and implement aid-for-peace bargains; (ii) donor governments and agencies make peace their top …
