Abstract: Abstract Corporate social responsibility (CSR), as a concept, idea, and practice explaining the duty owed by a corporate organization to its immediate and extended environment or society, is not new among business owners, researchers, practitioners, academicians, and public administrators. This idea is more significant in the extractive industry due to the deteriorating effect of their activities on the community of operation. Despite the extensive literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR), much has not been written on government agencies’ and bureaucrats’ (public “administrators”) roles in the practice. This chapter examines the role of public administrators in Nigeria in ensuring good corporate social responsibility practices in the extractive industry. Drawing on theoretical and empirical research, the study explores the roles of public bureaucracies in influencing corporate behaviors and whether their activities support corporate behavior for the benefit of host communities and corporate organizations for the implementation of community support projects. The study sheds light on the activities of public bureaucracies that will improve or impede corporate social responsibility in Nigeria’s mining and extractive industries.
