Abstract
ABSTRACTThe European Union has for a decade wielded raw materials diplomacy to secure access to resources from external sources, and increasingly is emerging as a global governor of extractives in its own right. This dynamic occurs in the context of an international extractives sector with fragmented and varied international organisations (IOs) and initiatives playing unique roles in constructing and sustaining the governance of extractive resources. The EU, founded on the back of the European Coal and Steel Community, in 2008 launched the integrated Raw Materials Initiative, under which it has sought a sustainable supply of raw materials from global markets. Drawing on the case of African extractives governance, which is characterised by the advent of the African Mining Vision, this article applies to the EU, as a referent IO, the concept of global extractives governors, defined as authorities who exercise power across borders by influencing extractive industries and minerals policy.
