| Abstract: | This article examines the basis for harmonization of mining policies between the DRC and Zambia. The paper notes that the two countries are not only neighbors, but also both straddle the copper belt, which to date is a strategic mineral coveted by the industrial and technological revolution. The article notes that there are legal instruments on which the harmonization of the mining policies of these two countries must be based. Thus, it is a question of answering the concern about the possible ways and means to harmonize the mining legislations of these two states, but also, how the countries which have common borders and exploit the same type of minerals can exchange their experiences of governance so that each one benefits from the experience of the other. |
