Description

Political Economy of Extractivism : Global Perspectives on the Seduction of Rent, Hardcover by Warnecke-berger, Hannes (EDT); Ickler, Jan (EDT), ISBN 1032300582, ISBN-13 9781032300580, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "For many countries, primarily in the Global South, extractivism - the exploiting and exporting of natural resources - is big business. For those exporting countries, natural resource rents create hope and promise for development which can be a seductiveforce. This book explores the depth of extractivism in economies around the world. The contributions to this book investigate the connection between the political economy of extractivism and its impact on the socio-political fabric of natural resource exporting societies in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Th engages with a comparative perspective on the persistence of extractivism in these four different world regions. Th focuses on the formative power of rents and argues that rents are seductive. The individual contributions flesh out this seductive force of rents on different political scales and how this seduction affects a variety of actors. Th investigates how these actors react to the prevalence of rent, how they align or break with specific political and economic strategies, and how myths of resource-driven development play out on the ground. Th, therefore, underlines that rent theory bridges current debates in different area communities and offers fresh insights into extractivist societies' social, economic, and political dynamics. This book will be of significant interest to readers in political economy, political science, development studies and area studies"--

  2. As pictured / as described. Shipping - I ordered Dec 12 and glanced to see something like "Arrives ... 17th-21st", quickly thinking, "OK - plenty of time for Christmas". When it didn't show up, I went back to find it was actually "January 14th-17th" - oops! my goof! Wasn't expecting 5 week shipping. But ultimately, it did come in on Dec 26th, so quicker than the stated and might have been even quicker if not for holidays. Otherwise, good packing. Quick, easy transaction. Thanks!
