In the wake of diamond mining : a critical assessment of environmental governance and corporate social responsibility in the Namaqualand coastal region
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis study assesses the social and environmental legacy that is currently being left in the wake of diamond mining along the north west coast of South Africa as a result of almost century of diamond mining. This involves an inquiry into the political, economic and ideological forces that enabled the establishment of the extractive industry, and a critical assessment of the role the industry has come to play in the region.
