| Summary: | It is widely accepted that extractive industries are being implemented in both environmentally and socially risky environments. In this regard, integrating the use of analytical tools such as the `Environmental Impact Assessment' (EIA), 'Social Impact Assessment' (SIA), as well as 'Political Risk Analysis' (PRA) to identify and mitigate environmental, social, and political impacts is mandatory in extractive project planning (Goldwyn and Switzer, 2003). Nevertheless, considering that extractive industries, to a great extent, are operating in areas of potential or open conflict, in addition to these tools, it is also necessary to adopt conflict-sensitive approaches (CSAs) in extractive industry management. For this purpose, CSAs, which "...encompass a myriad of approaches, concepts, tools and methodologies that inculcate conflict impact awareness into development, humanitarian and peace-building work" (Goldwyn and Switzer, 2003) increasingly have been utilized to enrich the existing impact assessment tools in the extractive industry. |
