SPECIAL GUEST LECTURE THURSDAY 17 JUNE, 6.00pm The Plundered Planet: Why We Must And How We Can Manage The World’s Natural Resources to Ensure Global Prosperity by Paul Collier, Professor of Economics and Director of the Centre for the Study of African Economies at Oxford University Convocation Hall, Octagon Centre, Western Bank, S10 2HB Places are free but must be booked in advance at: www.sheffield.ac.uk/whatson/ universitylectures/plunderedplanet.html T: 0114 222 1030 A former director of Development Research at the World Bank, Paul Collier is the author of the award-winning The Bottom Billion, among other books. The Bottom Billion was greeted as a groundbreaking book when it appeared in 2007, winning the Estoril Distinguished Book Prize, the Arthur Ross Book Award, and the Lionel Gelber Prize. The Economist wrote that it was “set to become a classic,” The Financial Times praised it as “rich in both analysis and recommendations. Now, in The Plundered Planet, Collier builds upon his work on developing countries and the poorest populations to confront the issues involving natural assets. Proper stewardship of these assets is a matter of planetary urgency: unregulated exploitation of natural resources accelerates global warming, overburdens world food markets, exacerbates existing unrest, and leads to new and ever more desperate armed conflicts. The Plundered Planet charts a course between unchecked profiteering on the one hand, and environmental romanticism on the other to offer realistic and sustainable solutions to these dauntingly complex issues.
