The sound management of these oil resources and revenues is undoubtedly one of the key public policy challenges for Uganda as it is for other African countries with large oil and/or gas endowments. With oil expected to start flowing in 2021, the current book analyses how this East African country is preparing for the challenge of effectively, efficiently, and transparently managing its oil sector and resources. Adopting a multidisciplinary, comprehensive, and comparative approach, the book identifies a broad scope of issues that need to be addressed in order for Uganda to realise the full potential of its oil wealth for national economic transformation. Predominantly grounded in local scholarship and including chapters drawing on the experiences of Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya, the book blazes a trail on governance of African oil in an era of emerging producers. Oil Wealth and Development in Uganda and Beyond will be of great interest to social scientists and economic and social policy makers in oil-producing countries. It is suitable for course adoption across such disciplines as International/Global Affairs, Political Economy, Geography, Environmental Studies, Economics, Energy Studies, Development, Politics, Peace, Security and African Studies. 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$zUganda 606 $aPetroleum reserves$zUganda 606 $aSocial impact of environmental issues$2bicssc 606 $aEnvironmental policy & protocols$2bicssc 606 $aEnvironmental management$2bicssc 606 $aEnergy industries & utilities$2bicssc 606 $aEnergy & natural resources law$2bicssc 606 $aDevelopment economics & emerging economies$2bicssc 610 $aUganda 610 $aNatural resources management 610 $aOil exploration 610 $aGas exploration 610 $aResource curse 610 $aExtractive industries 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade 615 0$aPetroleum reserves 615 7$aSocial impact of environmental issues. 615 7$aEnvironmental policy & protocols. 615 7$aEnvironmental management. 615 7$aEnergy industries & utilities. 615 7$aEnergy & natural resources law. 615 7$aDevelopment economics & emerging economies. 676 $a338.2728096761 700 $aLanger$b Arnim$4edt$01364603 702 $aLanger$b Arnim 702 $aUkiwo$b Ukoha 702 $aMbabazi$b Pamela 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367630203321 996 $aOil wealth and development in Uganda and beyond$93386036 997 $aUNINA
