* First, there is a large and growing need for metals and minerals in the burgeoning economies of the Asian region.
* Second, population pressures and evolving environmental concerns sharpen the conflicts around land use where mining, with its visible, though generally quite localized impact, has to compete with agriculture, habitat, tourism and other natural and environmental protection objectives.
The methodology of the study is based on the realization that it is not only the overall legal regime — important as it may be — but the implementation of such rules in practice, the attitude and philosophies of government agencies, state and private national enterprises, in short the “real-life” investment conditions that are decisive for the success of a promotional investment policy.
