ABSTRACT

The overall aim of this book has been to enhance understanding of the nature of governance in relation to social justice and sustainability across a range of natural resource sectors in sub-Saharan Africa. The case studies presented have explored and critiqued various governances processes and systems, providing insight into the values and principles that shape governance in different contexts, the institutional arrangements that characterize different modes of governance and the drivers that determine governance interactions, approaches and outcomes in different contexts. Also reviewed are the local conditions that determine how governance plays out in different settings.
