Extractive Industry Policy Innovations And Civil Society Movement In Southeast Asia: An Introduction

Language: English

This book is intended to document various Asia Pacific Publish What You Pay (PWYP) advocacy network efforts towards enhancing transparency and accountability (among others) in Indonesia and neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia. Documenting and publishing these works is important for several reasons. First is the need to broaden alliances and thus increase the leverage of those demanding reform in Southeast Asia. Second is the need to facilitate dialogue among relevant stakeholders and crucial communities. Third is the need for capacity building so that local actors can critically engage and monitor the government and companies.
