Abiodun Alao undertakes this broad survey by categorizing natural resources into four groups: land (including agricultural practices and animal stock), solid minerals, oil, and water. Themes linking these resources to governance and conflict are then identified and examined with numerous examples drawn from specific African countries. Alao's approach offers considered conclusions based on comparative discussions and analysis, thus providing the first comprehensive account of the linkage between natural resources and political and social conflict in Africa. Abiodun Alao is a Senior Research Fellow at the Conflict, Security, and Development Group, School of Social Science and Public Policy, King's College, University of London.Rochester studies in African history and the diaspora ;v. 29.Natural Resources & Conflict in AfricaNatural resourcesAfricaNatural resourcesPolitical aspectsAfricaConflict managementAfricaNatural resourcesNatural resourcesPolitical aspectsConflict management303.6096Alao Abiodun790069Boydell & Brewer,pblUniversity of Rochester Press,pblUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9911008434503321Natural resources and conflict in Africa4396126UNINA
