Description
The New Scramble for Africa by Pádraig R. Carmody explores the changing dynamics of resource extraction and investment in Africa, highlighting the complex interplay between state and non-state actors, Asian and South African interests, and their impact on people, the environment, and economic development. This fully revised and updated second edition delves into old and new economic power interests in Africa, examining the roles of oil, minerals, timber, biofuels, land, food, and fisheries. Carmody's analysis sheds light on the nature and consequences of Asian and South African investment in manufacturing and other sectors. A valuable resource for those interested in current affairs and African studies, international relations, and resource politics, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the continent's evolving landscape.
