Crude Continent The Struggle For Africas Oil Prize

"Today's scramble for Africa - the great uncharted frontier in world oil and gas - is part of a continuing struggle for oil that started before the Cold War. It engages over 500 corporations, including state oil companies from six continents. And yet Africa retains a vast underbelly of ancient subsistence economies on which the quest for oil has had little impact." "Crude Continent is the first in-depth exploration of this fascinating and important subject. Duncan Clarke, Africa's pre-eminent energy strategist, provides ground-breaking insights into the continent's oil history, economics and fragmented geopolitics. He examines afresh the wars and social conflicts arising in part from the rush for oil and gas assets that represent a potential locomotive for the continent's economic future."--Jacket.
