Aside from the expansion of industrial gold mining, many countries have simultaneously witnessed an expansion of labor-intensive and predominantly informal artisanal and small-scale gold mining. Both trends are usually studied in isolation, which contributes to a dominant image of a dual gold mining economy. Counteracting this dominant view, this volume adopts a global perspective, and demonstrates that both industrial gold mining and artisanal and small-scale gold mining are functionally integrated into a global gold production system. It couples an analysis of structural trends in global gold production (expansion, informalization, and technological innovation) to twelve country case studies that detail how global gold production becomes embedded in institutional and ecological structures.Economic policyPolitical economyEconomic geographyEconomic developmentNatural resourcesEconomic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010International Political Economyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140Economic Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000Development Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913000Natural Resource and Energy Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48010Economic policy.Political economy.Economic geography.Economic development.Natural resources.Economic Policy.International Political Economy.Economic Geography.Development Studies.Natural Resource and Energy Economics.338.2741338.9Verbrugge Borisedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtGeenen Saraedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910409663203321Global Gold Production Touching Ground2185819UNINA
