Governments and Mining Companies in Developing Countries

This book examines the relationship between the governments of less developed countries (LDCs) and foreign-owned firms engaged in the extraction of minerals for export. It provides a fresh look at the policy aspects of the ＂resource bargaining＂ problems between LDCs and foreign-owned firms.
