CALLED “MEGAPROJECTS”
 Pipeline and mines are engineering expertise
 Building roads, railways
 Understanding the geopolitics of pipelines and infrastructure for
mines.

11. HO TO SUSTAIN CANADIAN

15. GEOPOLITICAL RISKS - A
SUMMARY
 SECOND WORLD changes global negotiating dynamic (rise of
Qatar and SWFs in deciding GLENCORE XSTRATA)
 How did global leaders miss the breakup of Mali? What can we
learn from this?
 Khan Resources and Ownership issues (Globalized capital
markets are a new reality. Who protects longterm Mongolian
interests?)
 TURNING RESOURCE REVENUES INTO PRODUCTIVE
INVESTMENT (the real “CSR” issue for the 2010s). Resource
revenues either back Malian, Madagascan, Mongolian
entrepreneurs and link them to efficient capital markets or could
produce new kleptocracies.
