Download or read book Renegotiating a PNG Compensation Agreement written by Barbara Sharp and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper describes a multi-stakeholder negotiation over compensation at the Ok Tedi copper mine, Papua New Guinea (PNG). It details the Informed Consensus process used to respond to the high levels of distrust and diversity of interests in the negotiations and explains how a sustainable development focused outcome was agreed. It shows how a carefully built, culturally appropriate process is able to provide a 'safe', 'free' environment for diverse parties to an agreement, allowing all 'voices' to be heard and how genuine ownership of outcomes can be achieved. The Ok Tedi Informed Consensus process was underpinned by guiding principles and used particular 'independence devices' adapted to support a range of public dialogues applicable to smaller-scale negotiation processes. While the context for these negotiations was PNG, the approach and learnings are directly applicable to many communities--indigenous and non-indigenous--negotiating complex, enduring agreements. The paper describes the context in which the process was designed and operated, how the process worked, the theoretical underpinnings that it drew on, the financial and sustainable development focused outcome, and the key learnings from such a large and complex task"--Page ii.

Download or read book Arbitration and Renegotiation of International Investment Agreements A Study with Particular Reference to Means of Conflict Avoidance Under Natural Resources Investment Agreements written by Wolfgang Peter and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 1995-06-08 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a second, revised edition of the original 1986 publication. Since then, the issue of contract change has increasingly challenged the business community and legal practitioners. The world-wide recession may well have accelerated the need to secure contractual relationships by reasonable flexibility. Successful foreign investment, a relentless challenge, is subject to many unpredictable errors. Of all these variables, however, successful investment is most dependent on the investor-host country relationship, which is the object of the present study. In particular, the pressure by host countries for contract change and its counterpart: the investor's defence of contract stability. The book is essentially a reference handbook for legal practitioners. It analyzes a variety of increasingly important questions concerning international investment agreements that come under pressure for change by one of the contracting parties: either a transnational corporation or a host country government. The seven case studies and the analytical chapters which follow are based on the author's research and the assistance of corporate and government officials, experts from the United Nations and other organizations, and members of academic research institutes.

Download or read book Large scale Mines and Local level Politics written by Colin Filer and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the difference in their populations and political status, New Caledonia and Papua New Guinea have comparable levels of economic dependence on the extraction and export of mineral resources. For this reason, the costs and benefits of large-scale mining projects for indigenous communities has been a major political issue in both jurisdictions, and one that has come to be negotiated through multiple channels at different levels of political organisation. The ‘resource boom’ that took place in the early years of the current century has only served to intensify the political contests and conflicts that surround the distribution of social, economic and environmental costs and benefits between community members and other ‘stakeholders’ in the large-scale mining industry. However, the mutual isolation of Anglophone and Francophone scholars has formed a barrier to systematic comparison of the relationship between large-scale mines and local-level politics in Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia, despite their geographical proximity. This collection of essays represents an effort to overcome this barrier, but is also intended as a major contribution to the growth of academic and political debate about the social impact of the large-scale mining industry in Melanesia and beyond.

Download or read book Global Trends in Land Tenure Reform written by Caroline S. Archambault and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the gendered dimensions of recent land governance transformations across the globe in the wake of unprecedented pressures on land and natural resources. These complex contemporary forces are reconfiguring livelihoods and impacting women’s positions, their tenure security and well-being, and that of their families. Bringing together fourteen empirical community case studies from around the world, the book examines governance transformations of land and land-based resources resulting from four major processes of tenure change: commercial land based investments, the formalization of customary tenure, the privatization of communal lands, and post-conflict resettlement and redistribution reforms. Each contribution carefully analyses the gendered dimensions of these transformations, exploring both the gender impact of the land tenure reforms and the social and political economy within which these reforms materialize. The cases provide important insights for decision makers to better promote and design an effective gender lens into land tenure reforms and natural resource management policies. This book will be of great interest to researchers engaging with land and natural resource management issues from a wide variety of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, development studies, and political science, as well as policy makers, practitioners, and activists concerned with environment, development, and social equity.

This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT CLAIM. Community Level Assessment of the Impact of Mining, or “CLAIM”, is a human rights assessment methodology developed by the Centre for Environmental Law and Community Rights (CELCOR), Live and Learn PNG, and the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI). CLAIM is a practical tool for use by organizations like CELCOR and Live and Learn to work with local communities to assess the human rights impact of mining projects, and identify remedies for mining-related harms. CLAIM is intended as a first step in providing longer-term support to mining-affected communities. CLAIM will produce a report detailing the positive and negative impacts of the mine, and possible strategies or remedies for the community to pursue depending upon their desired goal. The manual content is based on visits that CELCOR and ABA ROLI made to mining affected communities and several workshops with environmental lawyers and civil society leaders. CELCOR and ABA ROLI would like to thank the people from Kwembu, Winima, Sam Sam, Sambio, Labu, and Markham who took the time to share their experiences. We are also grateful to the staff at the Mineral Resources Authority, the State Solicitor’s Office of the Department of Justice and Attorney General, the Department of Petroleum and Energy, and the Department of Mineral Policy and Geo-Hazard Management for meeting with the CELCOR-ABA ROLI project team and sharing their knowledge about the mining and oil and gas industries; as well as to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Sustainable Development Strategies Group for sharing their expertise on human rights and business. Additionally, we thank all CELCOR, Live and Learn, Eco-Forestry Forum, and Greenpeace staff whose knowledge of local law, environmental activism and community mobilization helped create this manual.

Download or read book Ancestral Rainforests And The Mountain Of Gold written by David Hyndman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancestral rain forests for the Wopkaimin people have long been a sacred geography, a place that has allowed them to act out the obligations of the male cult system and social relations of production based on kinship. Today the people and their place are suffering disastrous consequences from the sudden imposition of one of the worlds largest mining projects, which has brought about severe social and ecological disruptions. Based on fieldwork spanning more than a decade, David Hyndmans book traces the extraordinary socioecological transformation of a traditional society confronting modern technological risk. Across the island of New Guinea, the clash between the simple reproduction and subsistence production system of indigenous peoples and the expanded production and private accumulation system of mining has resulted in environmental degradation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's global business environment, an executive must have the skills and knowledge to navigate all stages of an international deal, from negotiations to managing the deal after it is signed. The aim of The Global Negotiator is to equip business executives with that exact knowledge. Whereas most books on negotiation end when the deal is made, Jeswald W. Salacuse will guide the reader from the first handshake with a potential foreign partner to the intricacies of making the international joint venture succeed and prosper, or should things go poorly, how to deal with getting out of a deal gone wrong. Salacuse illustrates the many ways in which an international deal may falter and the methods parties can use to save it, provides the necessary technical knowledge to structure specific business transactions, and explores the transformations to the international business landscape over the last decade.

Download or read book Negotiating at Work written by Deborah M. Kolb and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understand the context of negotiations to achieve better results Negotiation has always been at the heart of solving problems at work. Yet today, when people in organizations are asked to do more with less, be responsive 24/7, and manage in rapidly changing environments, negotiation is more essential than ever. What has been missed in much of the literature of the past 30 years is that negotiations in organizations always take place within a context—of organizational culture, of prior negotiations, of power relationships—that dictates which issues are negotiable and by whom. When we negotiate for new opportunities or increased flexibility, we never do it in a vacuum. We challenge the status quo and we build out the path for others to negotiate those issues after us. In this way, negotiating for ourselves at work can create small wins that can grow into something bigger, for ourselves and our organizations. Seen in this way, negotiation becomes a tool for addressing ineffective practices and outdated assumptions, and for creating change. Negotiating at Work offers practical advice for managing your own workplace negotiations: how to get opportunities, promotions, flexibility, buy-in, support, and credit for your work. It does so within the context of organizational dynamics, recognizing that to negotiate with someone who has more power adds a level of complexity. The is true when we negotiate with our superiors, and also true for individuals currently under represented in senior leadership roles, whose managers may not recognize certain issues as barriers or obstacles. Negotiating at Work is rooted in real-life cases of professionals from a wide range of industries and organizations, both national and international. Strategies to get the other person to the table and engage in creative problem solving, even when they are reluctant to do so Tips on how to recognize opportunities to negotiate, bolster your confidence prior to the negotiation, turn 'asks' into a negotiation, and advance negotiations that get "stuck" A rich examination of research on negotiation, conflict management, and gender By using these strategies, you can negotiate successfully for your job and your career; in a larger field, you can also alter organizational practices and policies that impact others.
Download or read book The Report Papua New Guinea 2014 written by Oxford Business Group and published by Oxford Business Group. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Papua New Guinea is poised for change, as the country’s mineral riches are providing a major opportunity for economic development through the exploitation of natural resources. The government’s five-year strategic plan focuses on key development enablers such as free education, improvements to health services, the strengthening of law and order, rural development projects and infrastructure construction. Inward investment has increasingly been driven by the extractive sector, including oil and gas, whose share of the country’s total investment stock rose from 71% to 87% between 2004 and 2012. Statistics from the Investment Promotion Authority reveal that the largest share of new foreign direct investment in 2013, some 24.6%, targeted the construction sector, outpacing that in financial services, manufacturing and mining, which accounted for 19.8%, 18.1% and 10.9%, respectively. While minerals and hydrocarbons dominate exports, around 85% of the country’s population is employed in the agriculture sector. The start of liquefied natural gas exports in 2014 is expected to return the current account to a surplus in 2015, forecast as high as 12.1% of GDP before returning to 9.1% the following year. While the outlook for state revenues remains strong in the medium term, ensuring the sustainability of further spending increases will be key to preserving macroeconomic stability.

This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1990s, infrastructure concessions were hailed as the solution to Latin America's endemic infrastructure deficit, by combining private sector efficiency with rent dissipation brought about by competition. This publication examines the design and implementation of over 1,000 examples of concession contracts, in order to identify the problems that have occurred in the process. It goes on to highlight lessons to be learned for the future, in order to realise the potential benefits of infrastructure reform and to contribute to economic growth and poverty reduction.
