Description

This technical report contains the written output of the conference on "Mining and the Community", held in Quito, Ecuador, on 6 - 8 May, 1997.

The report begins with a description and synthesis of the results of the conference.  It is followed by summaries of each of the 5 workshops held at the conference: the themes of the conference were consultative processes, legal aspects and rights of the community, economic benefits and costs, social benefits and costs, and management practices and the community.  Indigenous issues and environmental issues were cross-cutting themes discussed in each workshop.  Most of the papers written for the conference are also included.

This volume is an excellent, modern investigation of the issues surrounding mining and the community.
