Unconventional shale gas development
The growth of unconventional shale gas development has been accompanied by controversy over its environmental and social impacts. This paper reviews recent literature to clarify what is known and not known about the physical, chemical and toxicological properties of the process chemicals and wastewaters generated in hydraulic fracturing, the mechanisms and pathways by which they enter surface water and groundwater aquifers and the risks posed to …
Contextualising emergency responses to famine among Turkana pastoralists in Kenya
The pastoralism of the Turkana has persisted in the challenging environment of northwestern Kenya for some 200 years. Yet many pastoralists find that they increasingly rely on food relief during droughts and famines. This article contextualises emergency responses to famine among Turkana pastoralists by considering their encounters with colonialism, development, and humanitarian interventions. It uses key informant interviews, participant observa…
Vale and its corporate sustainability performance in Itabira, Brazil
This paper looks at two questions underexplored in the corporate responsibility literature and of interest to impact assessment researchers. In low-income resource-rich communities with weak governance systems, what exactly does corporate commitment to sustainability achieve for the local community, and what is the role of government? The role of EIA? These are examined with reference to Vale's mining operations in Itabira, Brazil. Through the vo…
Contentious politics in environmental assessment
Environmental assessment (EA) is now institutionalized in over 100 countries but is widely criticized by practitioners and analysts for failing to convince decision-makers. Environmental sustainability is still not placed high on the list of criteria influencing project and programme approvals.

Public Participation in Environmental Assessment
The practice of environmental assessment (EA) has grown since the late 1960s and is now institutionalized in more than 100 countries. This paper reports on a comparative analysis of EA legislation and regulations in 27 countries and 4 regional development banks and on a reviav of 17 EA processes in 6 developing countries. Some degree of public participation is now required in most of the legislation examined although to quite different degrees. A…
Structural adjustment programmes and the Unced agenda
One of the striking areas of agreement at the 1992 United Nations Conference in Environment and Development (UNCED) was over the importance of economic efficiency as a means to environmental ends. The language of economic efficiency and structural adjustment permeates UNCED documentation. The contradictions between economic efficiency and environmental sustainability can be illustrated by examining the market‐oriented structural adjustment progra…
