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. 410 0$aRochester studies in African history and the diaspora ;$vv. 29. 517 3 $aNatural Resources & Conflict in Africa 606 $aNatural resources$zAfrica 606 $aNatural resources$xPolitical aspects$zAfrica 606 $aConflict management$zAfrica 615 0$aNatural resources 615 0$aNatural resources$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aConflict management 676 $a303.6096 700 $aAlao$b Abiodun$0790069 712 02$aBoydell & Brewer,$4pbl 712 02$aUniversity of Rochester Press,$4pbl 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911008434503321 996 $aNatural resources and conflict in Africa$94396126 997 $aUNINA
