Reihe: The International Political Economy of New Regionalisms Series

Bringing together some of the world’s leading thinkers and policy experts in the area of natural resource governance and management in Africa, this volume addresses the most critical policy issues affecting the continent’s ability to manage and govern its precious resources. The narrative of the book is solutions-driven, as experts weigh on specific issues within the context of Africa’s natural resource governance and offers appropriate policy recommendations on how to best manage the continent’s resources. This is a must-read for government policy makers in both the industrialized but more importantly in Africa and emerging economies, academic researchers working in the field, extractive companies operating on the continent and extractive industry and trade associations, multilateral and donor aid institutions.
