Governance Ecosystems CSR in the Latin American Mining Sector
Questions that inspired the research:
Why so much conflict?
Why is the literature so contradictory?
Why is the discourse so polarized?
Why is CSR necessary but not sufficient?
Process:
IDRC grant “Both Sides Now”
Royal Roads University Conference, October 2009
Palgrave Macmillan book
Question that inspired the book:
How, under what conditions and enabled by which actors can CSR in the mining industry contribute to social and environmental value to communities and countries in a sustainable and broad-based manner?Slide3
Governance Ecosystems CSR in the Latin American Mining Sector
Premise
1
:
Poverty
, social exclusion, and environmental degradation, while often clearly exacerbated by irresponsible business, exist within
broader local
and global political economic context in which
irresponsibility
and lack of accountability are built into the
system.
Premise
2
:
CSR strategies conceptualized as a set of discretionary or voluntary actions originating within a company can provide firms with strategic response to some of the risks that systemic dynamics present, especially in the developing world. By addressing governance gaps,
systemic
risk is lowered, and firms increase their potential of obtaining a ‘social license to
operate’.
Premise 3
:
CSR as currently conceptualized cannot be expected to bring about the long-term, transformative change needed to address multi-actor, system-wide
issuesSlide4

Premise 4
: New
analytical models
that can capture
system-wide dynamics
and put CSR into context within a broader governance system should be used as a
complement
to traditional stakeholder-management CSR planning tools.Slide6

CSR in the Latin American Mining Sector
Social and Environmental Value Governance Ecosystems Model
1
) A collectively defined central
goal
– the creation, enhancement and protection of social and environmental value (SEV). Not firm-centric2) The firm as just one of many role-bound actors embedded in a complex political system of conflicting and/or synergistic interests; Political actors not just firm stakeholders3) CSR programs and strategies as
just one of the mechanisms available to the firm to ‘govern’ this system, with other mechanisms available to other actors in the collective governance of the system; and4) System-wide eco-system of dynamics (including actions and inactions) can either disable or enable multi-actor, multi-mechanism governance efforts
Corruption is systemic disablerSlide8

governance
– ‘the act of governing’
- actors
in the system are political actors involved in making decisions that affect the collective social and environmental value. Issues of power and legitimacy form part of this notion.
eco
-system -a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment - each organism and the interactions between them in a system shapes the organisms involved in the interaction and the entire system itself.governance ecosystem bears some similarity to notion of ‘political economy’ and ‘political ecology’.

but attempt
to capture the ‘
prisoner’s dilemma’ dynamics that mining and other resource industry multi-actor governance systems are facingCollective institutional learning is rapidly taking place in search of better collective outcomesSystemic orientation needed to reorient corporate behavior towards facilitating sustainable broad-based solutions to deep systemic problemsSystemic orientation can strategically leverage the capacities of a variety of
actors in order to move synergistically in a positive SEV directionSlide12
