社会经营许可证(SLO)已成为评估采掘作业合法性的主要概念。本文考察了最近的SLO文献，以讨论SLO是如何概念化和制定的。我们的讨论集中在三个主题上：(1)谁被认为是相关的利益攸关方；(2)这些利益攸关方参与的方式；(3)如何考虑采掘作业的社会和环境影响。我们的分析指出，文献中有一种倾向，即侧重于当地利益攸关方，而没有考虑到更广泛的可持续性影响。根据这些调查结果，我们认为，对采掘作业的评价必须以一个全面的合法性概念为基础，不仅要争取当地利益攸关方的批准，而且要认识到不限成员名额的政治审议的重要性，这种审议涉及社会和环境可持续性的全球规范，并包括不同的价值观、需求和利益。
The Social Licence to Operate (SLO) has emerged as a leading concept to assess the legitimacy of extractive operations. This article examines recent SLO literature to discuss how the SLO is conceptualized and enacted. Our discussion focuses on three main themes: (1) who are considered to be relevant stakeholders; (2) the ways in which these stakeholders are engaged; and (3) how social and environmental impacts of extractive operations are considered. Our analysis points to a tendency in literature to focus on local stakeholders and a failure to consider wider sustainability implications. On the basis of these findings we argue that the evaluation of extractive operations must be based on a comprehensive concept of legitimacy that not only seeks the approval of local stakeholders but also recognises the importance of open-ended political deliberation that addresses global norms of social and environmental sustainability and includes diverse values, needs and interests.
