Descripción
Sumario:This paper will analyse an industrial development project in the south eastern part of the Malagasy region. For the past twenty years, the QIT Madagascar Minerals S.A. (QMM) corporation has been studying the feasibility of mining high-grade ilmenite mineral sands close to Tolagnaro. Concerns have been expressed about the economic, environmental, and social impacts of mining in this area. However, without such mining project and related infrastructure programs, the scope of economic development in the Malagasy region is limited. This article will explore the policy and economic issues confronting Sub-Saharan African countries in general and the Malagasy in particular. Based on a heterodox political economy approach, the research will not only address how this project will succeed in including environmental protection and poverty alleviation criteria, but will also examine some of the project’s limitations and shortfalls.
