Emerging Continental Economies and The Architecture of Inclusion

This book explores how natural resource exploitation intersects with corporate social responsibility (CSR) within the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As global demand for resources grows amid concerns about inequality and environmental harm, it highlights the need for ethical extraction and responsible business practices. Drawing on interviews, case studies, and literature analysis, it evaluates CSR initiatives in the natural resource sector and their alignment with the SDGs. The book also investigates the potential inclusion of the African Union (AU) in the Group of Twenty (G20), analyzing its implications for representation, governance, and Africa's global influence. Offering insights into sustainability, equity, and international cooperation, this work calls for stronger corporate accountability and a more inclusive global economic order.
