Oil and the future of the Niger DeltaThe recent escalation in the violent conflict in the Niger Delta has brought the region to the forefront of international energy and security concerns. Oil and Insurgency in the Niger Delta analyses the dynamics of the violence, focusing on the ways in which oil and Nigerian politics have morphed poorly coordinated, non-violent protests into a pan-Delta insurgency. Approaching the issue from a number of perspectives, the book offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive analysis available of the varied dimensions of the conflict.Africa now (Zed Books)Petroleum industry and tradePolitical aspectsNigeriaNiger River DeltaInsurgencyNigeriaNiger River DeltaElectronic books.Petroleum industry and tradePolitical aspectsInsurgency303.6209669Obi C.
