Oil and the future of the Niger Delta 330 $aThe recent escalation in the violent conflict in the Niger Delta has brought the region to the forefront of international energy and security concerns. Oil and Insurgency in the Niger Delta analyses the dynamics of the violence, focusing on the ways in which oil and Nigerian politics have morphed poorly coordinated, non-violent protests into a pan-Delta insurgency. Approaching the issue from a number of perspectives, the book offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive analysis available of the varied dimensions of the conflict. 410 0$aAfrica now (Zed Books) 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects$zNigeria$zNiger River Delta 606 $aInsurgency$zNigeria$zNiger River Delta 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aInsurgency 676 $a303.6209669 701 $aObi$b C.
