| Description |
Natural resources have been at the centre of economic and political developments in several countries over the last decade, not least in Canada. Suzanne Mills and Brendan Sweeney’s “Employment Relations in the Neostaples Resource Economy: Impact Benefit Agreements and Aboriginal Governance in Canada’s Nickel Mining Industry” addresses the dramatic increase in Aboriginal people’s engagement in extractive industries over the past 30 years, with Impact Benefit Agreements (IBAs) playing a more important role in negotiating the distribution of local costs and benefits. Through a case study of the Voisey’s Bay nickel mine and concentrator in Labrador, Mills and Sweeney develop an analysis of what they term the “neostaples economy” in which IBAs mediate local control in the context of declining union power and an increasingly internationalized Canadian resource sector.
