Exploitation minière et développement : des effets toujours controversés. Introduction

Abstract

In the context of the rise in raw material prices since the early 2000s, new regulations have been put in place so as to avoid the curse of natural resources and its main manifestations (failing institutions, enclave effects, Dutch disease, environmental degradation, inequalities, and so on). Although we now have the benefit of hindsight, the evidence in the literature on the effects of these regulations still seems very scattered and inconclusive.
