  • Mining in Conflicted Lands
    Lessons learned from Case Studies of InternationalInternational Investment Financial in Extractive Flows and Land-use Industries and the Environment Best Practices for Transnational Investment in Extractive and Land Use Sectors School of International Service American University Foreword With the wave of globalization and the empowerment of civil societies around the world, foreign investment has become an increasingly important issue due to the inherent social and environmental impacts that foreign companies inflict upon the local communities in which they operate. The results of foreign investment are complicated: some investment improves local economic, environmental, and social conditions, while other investment leads to tensions between transnational companies and local communities. There are currently few broadly agreed-upon standards that guide how foreign companies should invest and behave in host countries in order to achieve not only business benefits, but also social responsibility and environmental sustainability. This portfolio of best and worst practices of foreign investment exhibits both positive and negative cases of foreign investment. This document is the cooperative product of the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the American University (AU) practicum team. IFFE’s Senior Associate, Mr. Hu Tao, and Research Analyst, Denise Leung, worked closely with the practicum team to develop the project. The AU practicum team consisted of professors Dr. Ken Conca and Dr. Judy Shapiro and eleven graduate students: Stephanie DaCosta, Kristin DeValue, Hilary Kirwan, Lauren Lane, John Noel, Sebastian O’Connor, Schuyler Olsson, Jen Richmond, Natnari Sihawong, Toussaint Webster, and Yuxi Zhao. In March 2013, the AU practicum team travelled to Beijing, China, to present their initial research and coordinate with a WRI partner research team from Beijing Normal University.
