It brings together the best of recent research on Zambia's mining industry from eminent scholars in history, geography, anthropology, politics, sociology and economics. The authors discuss how aid donors pressed Zambia to privatize its key industry and how multinational mining houses took advantage of tax-breaks and lax regulation. It considers the opportunities and dangers presented by Chinese investment, how both companies and the Zambian state responded to dramatic instabilities in global commodity markets since 2004, and how frustration with the courting of mining multinationals has led to the rise of populist opposition. This detailed study of a key industry in a poor Central African state tells us a great deal about the unstable nature and uneven impacts of the whole global economic system.Africa ConnectsEthnology—AfricaBusinessManagement scienceAnthropologySociologyEconomic developmentPopular cultureStudy and teachingAfrican Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411030Business and Management, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/500000Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12000Sociology, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000Development Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913000Cultural Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22040ZambiaEconomic conditions1964-Ethnology—Africa.Business.Management science.Anthropology.Sociology.Economic development.Popular cultureStudy and teaching.African Culture.Business and Management, general.Anthropology.Sociology, general.Development Studies.Cultural Studies.338.2/743096894Fraser Aedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLarmer Medthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910827463003321Zambia, Mining, and Neoliberalism4101713UNINA
