Hailed as a means of reducing poverty and reliance on foreign aid, the role of foreign corporations in Africa\u0026amp;#x2019;s extractive sector is not well understood and important questions remain about the impact of such activities on people and on the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith reference to global governance initiatives aimed at promoting ethical business practices, this volume offers a timely examination of Canada-Africa relations and natural resource governance.
