Title: Promoting Contract Transparency Description: (2011) Oil, gas and mining laws and contracts establish the terms of what a country might gain from extraction, which can affect a nation’s ability to derive full benefits from its resources. While parliaments are constitutionally mandated to ratify laws, they generally do not have a role in reviewing contracts. Contracts, even when signed, are rarely disclosed to parliament or the public. Link: http://www.resourcegovernance.org/sites/default/files/RWI_Parliamentary_Briefing_ContractTransparency.pdf
