Natural resources have the transformational potential to support economic and political stability as well as contribute to national prosperity and economic development. However, in countries dependent upon natural resource sectors, poor management of these sectors often contributes to corruption, illicit financial flows (IFFs) and thus, poverty. Adequate transparency and accountability in regulatory management of these sectors is a challenge for resource rich countries. Poor licensing decisions in natural resource management can open a pandora's box of corruption risks. This manual provides methods and options based on good practices to improve transparency, accountability, and integrity in the regulatory licensing process and integrity due diligence. The manual borrows models from the Basel Core Principle 'fit and proper' concept, and provides options for conducting effective (a) beneficial ownership; (b) criminal/legal; and (c) conflicts of interest checks, with a goal of integrating these into the regulatory licensing process. The manual also identifies common legal framework defects that can facilitate corruption risks, and offers options based on principles of regulatory integrity to reduce these risks. The good practices identified can help countries allocate limited financial resources in conducting thorough background checks in a cost-effective manner, as well as meet EITI's requirements for public disclosure of beneficial owners and politically exposed persons. These strategies for reducing opportunities for corruption in extractive sectors can help reduce IFFs that can sap resources from the economy and inhibit a country's ability to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

One case of transnational corruption out of five occurs in the extractive sector according to the 2014 OECD Foreign Bribery Report. In this area, corruption has become increasingly complex and sophisticated affecting each stage of the extractive value chain with potential huge revenue losses for the public coffers. This report is intended to help policy makers, law enforcement officials and stakeholders strengthen prevention efforts at both the public and private levels, through improved understanding and enhanced awareness of corruption risk and mechanisms. It will help better tailoring responses to evolving corruption patterns and effectively countering adaptive strategies. The report also offers options to put a cost on corruption to make it less attractive at both the public and private levels.

Em que medida a indústria transforma as relações entre as pessoas? Será que os conflitos sociais emergentes nas sociedades menos desenvolvidas em resultado da implantação da grande indústria radicam na memória das sociedades pré-industriais? Indústria e conflito no meio rural é um estudo de história social que procura contribuir para responder a estas duas questões. Centrado no estudo das comunidades alentejanas que se criaram em torno da exploração mineira, procura surpreender a sua evolução desde a Regeneração até ao Estado Novo na óptica dos comportamentos individuais e colectivos. Aqui se recupera a memória destas comunidades já desaparecidas, constituídas na relação entre um meio rural e a disciplina industrial. Paulo Eduardo Guimarães é assistente no Departamento de História da Universidade de Évora, membro do Centro Interdisciplinar de Historia, Culturas e Sociedades da Universidade de Évora (Cidehus.UE), da Associação Portuguesa de História Económica e Social e da Associação Portuguesa de Arqueologia Industrial. Mestre em História dos Séculos XIX e XX pela Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (1995), tem desenvolvido estudos sobre a história mineira portuguesa.
