Transparent Governance in an Age of Abundance
Author: Juan Cruz VieyraPublisher: Inter-American Development Bank
ISBN: 159782187X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
During the last decade, the Latin American and Caribbean region has experienced unprecedented natural resources abundance. This book highlights how transparency can help realize the benefits and reduce negative externalities associated with the extractive industries in the region. A central message is that high-quality and well-managed information is critical to ensure the transparent and effective governance of the sector. The insights from experiences in the region can help policymakers design and implement effective regulatory reforms and adopt international standards that contribute to this goal. This is particularly important at a time when the recent boom experienced by extractives in the region may be coming to an end.
