In an era marked by the imperative of decarbonization and the rapid advancement of clean energy technologies, states in the global south find themselves in a pivotal position as suppliers of critical minerals. But why does state ownership matter in this context, and how can it shape resource governance?
Delve into the pages of Business of the State as it illuminates the evolving landscape of mineral states’ growth strategies amidst strategic competition and the climate emergency. Discover the paradigm shift towards hybrid developmental strategies, blending market-conforming policies with the resurgence of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) as key players in industrial development. Drawing from real-world examples like Brazil’s Petrobras and Chile’s Codelco, the book explores how effective governance reforms can harness the potential of SOEs to drive technological innovation and support industrial policy.
Why do states intervene in the affairs of public enterprises, and what role can they play in structural transformation? Find answers through a historical institutionalist lens, unravelling the intricate process of market reforms in highly strategic natural resource industries.
