Abstract
This closing chapter is based on a roundtable at the workshop which served as the launchpad for this edited volume. The closing roundtable featured experts from academia, non-governmental organizations, the mining industry, and mining industry watchdogs. The interdisciplinarity of the roundtable features in this chapter and highlights each participant’s different methodological and epistemic perspective on the possibilities and improbabilities of extractive bargains, along with the scale from which they engage with the state-society nexus. As a group, we reflected on and debated the core questions of this book. The following forum-style chapter explores each expert perspective in turn. It concludes by emphasizing that, despite differences, there is a profound interconnectedness among the experts, which is reflective of a world linked together by ecological crisis and aspirations for a climate transition.
