¿This impressive volume takes a deep dive into the ways states design and promote `extractive bargains¿, exposing the search for a (post)extractive consensus within fluid state-society relations. A must-read on resource governance, supply security, and climate politics.¿¿Philippe Le Billon,  University of British Columbia and Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton¿The book makes a major contribution to the burgeoning study of extractivisms, and illustrates in detail how extractive bargains in the state-society nexus do not have a singular or predetermined outcome.¿¿Barry K. Gills, Professor of Global Development Studies, Helsinki University, Finland¿Through a collaborative methodology, Andrews, Bowles and volume contributors offer a conceptually innovative typology of the kinds of conditions that facilitate, normalize and constrict extractive activities within and between states ¿ Highly recommended!¿¿Anna Zalik,  Associate Professor,  Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University, Toronto,  CanadaThis book is the first to focus on state-led `extractive bargains, ¿ designed to reach a social consensus on the extent of extractive activities, how they should be governed and their negative consequences mitigated. These state-led `bargains¿ have taken a number of different forms and offer varying degrees of promise in meeting environmental and social concerns. The book critically examines `bargains¿ in states across the Global North and the Global South, incorporates Indigenous issues, and judiciously assesses their prospects for promoting long-term sustainability. It focusses on mineral and fossil fuel extraction in particular including bargains designed to govern the former as the demand for minerals used in ¿green energy¿ increases and to limit the use of the latter.The book will be of interest to students and researchers of global studies, global political economy, political science, political sociology, sustainability, environmental sociology, development studies and geography.Chapter 1 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.Paul Bowles is Professor of Global and International Studies at the University of Northern British Columbia, Canada. Nathan Andrews is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at McMaster University, Canada.
