Abstract

The above opening citation from the 2013 UNDP Human Development Report on the rise of the Global South brings together global governance, natural resources, human development, and security. This concluding reflection on the state of natural resource governance (NRG) is informed by animating a new PhD at the University of Massachusetts Boston on Global Governance and Human Security, and continuing after three decades to edit an International Political Economy (IPE) Series with a focus on the Global South, in which this collection is located. It has also been informed by the mid-2013 North South Institute Forum on “Governing Natural Resources for Africa’s Development” and two special workshops at the annual International Studies Association conferences in early-2013 and 2014 on the political economy of energy. I build on the increasingly familiar and compatible concepts of “the transnational” (Hale and Held 2012) and “global governance” (Harman and Williams 2013; Weiss and Wilkinson 2014a, b) as together they advance the analysis of natural resources in Africa symbolized by the Kimberley Process (KP) and the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI).

The South has risen at an unprecedented speed & scale … By 2050, Brazil, China & India combined are projected to account for 40 percent of world output in purchasing power parity terms …

The changing global political economy is creating unprecedented challenges and opportunities for continued progress in human development.

(UNDP 2013: 1–2)
