«The Scramble for African Oil» is Douglas A. Yates's political economy essay, published by Pluto Press in paperback (272 pages, in English).
The work argues that global oil demand does not always bring progress to Africa, but rather attracts foreign powers that fuel corruption, authoritarianism and conflict. Douglas A. Yates analyses the response of African civil society and opens a debate on the role of natural resources in global politics and development.
Subtitled «Oppression, Corruption and War for Control of Africa's Natural Resources», the work belongs to the New Politics, Progressive Policy collection and was published in 2012.
For students of development, political economy and international relations interested in Africa and its natural resources.
