Reflection about the role of community engagement and corporate social investment in Brazil, associated with the presence of a large economic enterprise, is the major stimulus of this chapter. It seeks to present how cross-sector governance can contribute to the social development of a city and how this process can be led by a partnership comprising a corporate foundation, government, and civil society. The concept of the public–private social partnership (PPSP) is explored: a strategy for building a series of inter-sectoral alliances aimed at promoting the sustainable development of territories where the company has large-scale enterprises, through joint efforts towards integrated long-term strategic planning, around a common agenda. To this end, the case of Canaã dos Carajás is introduced, a municipality in the State of Pará, in the Amazon region, where large-scale mining investment is being carried out by the mining company Vale SA.

AbstractAs evidenced by the widespread controversy surrounding an otherwise small-scale mining investment pending in Casamance, Senegal, uncertainty shapes the extension of the extractive frontier. Fent argues that amid this uncertainty, different actors are able to politicize or depoliticize extractive investments through the work of scaling. Opponents cast the project as part of larger-scale, longer-term extraction, linking it with regional narratives. By contrast, state and corporate actors depoliticized the mine by emphasizing its limited extent and downscaling conflict to the local level. This demonstrates the conflictual processes through which extractive frontiers are realized—and resisted—through both space and time.

The mineral riches of the West were exploited in distinct stages. Before a settled industry could emerge, highly speculative development companies bought out the discoverers, skimmed the cream, and braved the hazards of nature and management. Some, like the Montana Company, flourished for a time, but litigation, depletion, absentee ownership, and high costs made long-term existence almost impossible.

This article aims, first, to consider the conceptual question about the place and role of rental relations in subsoil use, particularly in the extractive industries and secondly, to determine the basics of scientific analysis of the essence and forms of rent and rent relations, generally, and mining rents in particular in aspect of their influence on the formation of a favourable investment climate in the extractive industry. Article is largely introductory in nature, so far as in theory and in practical terms, the problems of relationship rent relations and investment attractiveness of the extractive industries have not adequately attention. In this direction has never appeared in any relevant studies, the results of which could serve as the basis for formulating practical solutions, such as formation of adequate economic policies, rent relations regulatory frameworks, their organizational and legal security underlying the investment attractiveness of extractive activities.
