This book is the first to focus on state-led 'extractive bargains,' designed to reach a social consensus on the extent of extractive activities, how they should be governed and their negative consequences mitigated. These state-led 'bargains' have taken a number of different forms and offer varying degrees of promise in meeting environmental and social concerns. The book critically examines 'bargains' in states across the Global North and the Global South, incorporates Indigenous issues, and judiciously assesses their prospects for promoting long-term sustainability. It focusses on mineral and fossil fuel extraction in particular including bargains designed to govern the former as the demand for minerals used in "green energy" increases and to limit the use of the latter.

The book will be of interest to students and researchers of global studies, global political economy, political science, political sociology, sustainability, environmental sociology, development studies and geography.
