Gold mining, conflict, and post-war governmentality in Côte d’Ivoire

Abstract: Over the last twenty years, there has been a new gold rush in West African countries along a new resource frontier. The article’s key question is how mining governance reform and discourses around the 2014 Mining Code in Côte d’Ivoire create socio-environmental conflicts over the local development model, property rights and identity politics. The article draws upon direct observation, semi-structured interviews, focus groups with gold panners, mine managers and local village populations, as well as a household survey.
