Although minerals have been exploited for decades in these countries, the benefits have not always been as visible. This has necessitated reforms including nationalisation of mining activities in the distant past; and currently legal and regulatory reforms. This book gives an insight of these reforms and with reference to the fieldwork research undertaken by the author in some African countries, th highlights the social and environmental impacts of mining activities in Africa. The central question of th is, why the mining laws have worked in some countries but not others and what can be done to ensure that these laws are effective? Consequently, th analyses the legal reforms made in the sector and highlights both the challenges and the opportunities for foreign investors as well as the African governments and local communities. Th will be of great interest to researchers and students in Energy and Geography related fields, as well as to practitioners and policy makers.
