• Sommario/riassunto: This book explores the impacts of current mining licensing regimes in Africa and how they influence sustainable development principles. International law and conventions on mining are used as a lens to examine a regionalized perspective of the history of mining law and customary land law. Alternative approaches are then suggested, through a comparative and sovereignty-based study of mining laws and policies, to see how the challenge of uneven development can be combatted using minerals. This book aims to highlight how mineral possessions can transform communities if the economic policies, customary law structures, and the geopolitical landscape guarantee inclusivity and equal partnerships. It will be relevant to researchers and policymakers interested in mineral economics, mining law, and African economies. Akua Debrah is a Visiting Lecturer at the Wits Mining Institute, University of the Witwatersrand. Hudson Mtegha is a Visiting Adjunct Professor atthe School of Mining Engineering, University of the Witwatersrand.
