But the most crucial lesson - which they underline - is humility." - Clare Short, Chair of the EITI; former Secretary of State for International Development

     

    This book sets out a framework for governance entrepreneurs wishing to implement collective governance, outlining its practicalities and pitfalls, and drawing out the experience of the international standard, the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI).

    Peter Poschen

     

    "This book documents, with reference both to specific experiences and to macroeconomic studies, positive outcomes are eminently possible... The message - amply reflected and illustrated in this book - is loud and clear: sustainable development is only possible with the active engagement of the world of work." - Guy Ryder, Director-General, International Labour Organization

     

    The challenges of achieving environmental sustainability and of generating decent work for all are closely linked. Poschen argues that an integrated approach is a necessity: the goal of environmentally sustainable economies will not be attained without the active contribution of the world of work.
