Historical cases are used for analysis and comparison to current projects, including a copper mine and a natural gas pipeline. Many lessons can be gleaned from these cases, and the authors conclude with policy recommendations to move these projects forward efficiently and equitably, and to take full advantage of opportunities for development and regional cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/site.uvm.edu\/ieds\/files\/2021\/06\/IEDSAfghanistan2011.pdf\">Afghanistan Mineral Fortune Report<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/site.uvm.edu\/ieds\/files\/2021\/06\/IEDSAfghanistan2011.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/site.uvm.edu\/ieds\/files\/2021\/06\/mohammad-rahmani-oZZoJSyP9UE-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.uvm.edu\/ieds\/files\/2021\/06\/mohammad-rahmani-oZZoJSyP9UE-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/site.uvm.edu\/ieds\/files\/2021\/06\/mohammad-rahmani-oZZoJSyP9UE-unsplash-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.uvm.edu\/ieds\/files\/2021\/06\/mohammad-rahmani-oZZoJSyP9UE-unsplash-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/site.uvm.edu\/ieds\/files\/2021\/06\/mohammad-rahmani-oZZoJSyP9UE-unsplash-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/site.uvm.edu\/ieds\/files\/2021\/06\/mohammad-rahmani-oZZoJSyP9UE-unsplash-1568x2091.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This paper examines the rich mineral and energy resources of Afghanistan, and argues that resource extraction by multinational interests need not be a source of conflict.
