Routledge Mining and Development - Foreign Investment Economics

First published in 1984, this Routledge Library Edition examines the complex economic and political issues surrounding foreign investment in mineral development. The text focuses on the transactions that occur when foreign investments cross national boundaries, analyzing the movement of money, credit instruments, information, and people. By studying specific cases in Australia, Ireland, Papua New Guinea, and Zambia, the book explores the relationships created between foreign investors and host countries. This work provides a detailed look at the physical and economic processes of mineral development within the framework of environmental and natural resource economics.
