Benefiting From Extractive Industries Through Parliamentary Oversight

In: The Parliamentarian: journal of the parliaments of the Commonwealth, Band 94, Heft 1

Abstract

The Concluding Statement from an October 2012 Global Seminar on the Role of Parliaments and Extractive Industries points to steps Parliaments can take to ensure that the development of mineral, oil and gas resources is a benefit rather than a curse for their societies. Parliamentarians from selected resource-rich Commonwealth jurisdictions shared experiences with experts from international organizations to identify problems and solutions.
