Vasilis Pappas, Artem Barsukov and Sharon Singh in Canadian Mining Journal on Resource Nationalism

August 16, 2021

Vasilis Pappas, Artem Barsukov and Sharon Singh write in Canadian Mining Journal on resource nationalism as a clear and present danger to Canadian miners. They look at how a rising wave of populism, coupled with economic challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and a renewed focus on environmental rights, Indigenous rights and other social issues, have paved the way for the re-emergence of resource nationalism in many developing nations.

Canadian mining companies can protect themselves from these developments in several ways:

  • taking advantage of investment treaties that guarantee certain minimum standards of treatment and protections to foreign investors;
  • updating risk registers and developing robust response plans to deal with hostile government action;
  • negotiating robust dispute resolution clauses in investment or concession agreements which would require any disputes be submitted to binding international arbitration in a neutral forum; and
  • if hostile government actions do occur, immediately seeking advice from sophisticated international arbitration counsel.
