Oil and Development in Ghana: Beyond the Resource Curse

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (15879 ratings)

Description:This book gives a comprehensive overview of Ghana's hydrocarbon economy using actor network and assemblage theories to contest the methodological nationalism of mainstream accounts of the resource curse in resource-rich countries.Drawing upon recent field research focused on Ghana's oil and gas sector and utilizing the theoretical framework of actor network theory, the authors contend that there is an assemblage of political, economic, social and environmental networks, processes, actions, actors and structures of power that coalesce to determine the extent to which the country's hydrocarbon resources could be regarded as a 'curse' or 'blessing'. This framing facilitates a better understanding of the variety (and duality) of local and global forces and power structures at play in Ghana's growing hydrocarbon industry.Giving a nuanced and multi-perspectival analysis of the factors that underlie oil-engendered development in Ghana, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of African political economy, African development and the politics of resource extraction.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
