Eight researchers from the Gold Matters project recently participated as contributing authors for
the book “Global Gold Production Touching Ground: Expansion, Informalization, and Technological
Innovation” edited by Sara Geenen and Boris Verbrugge.

  • Through twelve study cases, the book explores the expansion, informalization and technical innovation of global gold production, demonstrating how large and small-scale gold mining are both integral parts of the global gold production system, and how gold extraction is entrenched in institutional and ecological structures. Find out more and watch the videos from the book launch.
