  1. Hi everyone, just got into Burkina last night.... very hot here, 95 degrees! Our SCU Associate Provost for International Programs Susan Popko arrives this afternoon. She is visiting the site for our study abroad program.

    What did you think of the gold mine reading?

  2. Morning discussion should become available on Accordent if you missed it. A good 30 min on Skype, at the 8:45 mark. We talked about three major point of the Burkina mining paper:
    industrial organiztion of mining sector
    structure of civil society
    analysis of delay in reporting EITI
    We talked about four reasons for delaying EITI (national-local division, mining company competition, capacity constraint, corruption).
    We talked about difficulty in determining what accounted for cross-mine civil society action.
