(RE-)KONSTRUKTIONEN - INTERNATIONALE UND GLOBAL...

Scholarship on artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) has often portrayed mining regions as
'informal' zones that suffer from environmental degradation problems. Water pollution and
degraded landscapes  for example  have long been noted as the inevitable consequence of the
operations of ASM. Such insistence on the institutional absences of ASM zones has dovetailed
with a lack of academic attention to some of the 'golden' mining practices taking place there.
Thus  this work seeks to (re)examine the topic of 'development' in ASM. The findings suggest
that small-scale miners  contrary to popular perception  could be caretakers of the
environment. In addition  emphasizing how the dynamic interplay between resources and
environmental demands may come to support public policy  the findings illustrate  contrary to
the dominant narrative  how the activities of small-scale mining operators can engender a
win-win situation for both mining companies and local mining communities.
