Located amid tropical rainforest in the heart of Papua New Guinea, the Frieda River area is home to one of the biggest undeveloped gold and copper deposits in the Pacific. This book offers an account of local stakeholder strategies as they unfolded at Frieda over forty years. It describes how they attempted to use the complex social situation in the area to develop Frieda's rich gold and copper deposits. The book provides a strong and novel commentary on sustainability and social accountability of the mining industry operating in indigenous territories.
Emilia E Skrzypek is a social anthropologist with an academic background in sustainable development and a strong interdisciplinary interest in social accountability and corporate social responsibility. Her research is based in Papua New Guinea and focuses on issues of social accountability in the resource extraction industry.
