Effective engagement of the private mining sector in the construction of democratic governance environments = Inclusión efectiva del sector minero privado en la construcción de entornos locales de gobernanza
The governance perspective provides a methodical approach to identify key actors and trends affecting public authority in specific contexts. This paper looks at private mining companies, which have become a critical factor to understand development paths followed by resource-rich districts in developing countries. It is argued private mining companies need to master the concept of governance and consequently work more decidedly with their stakeholders in recipient communities.Failing in doing so corrodes local democratic institutions and is detrimental for businesses´ profitability. The insights presented in this paper suggest that the most effective way to build up well-functioning local governance environments is by means of facilitating processes that bring different groups into constructive engagement, dialogue and decision making.
