In Business of the State: Why State Ownership Matters for Resource Governance, ECSP Global Fellow Jojo Nem Singh provides an in-depth exploration of how state ownership influences mining governance and resource management in Brazil and Chile. Drawing on a decade of fieldwork, the book offers a fresh theoretical framework combining historical institutionalism and political economy to analyze state enterprise reforms and their implications for the clean energy transition. With timely insights into industrial policy and recent legislative changes, Jojo presents a compelling argument for the critical role of the state in steering sustainable resource governance.
