Gouvernance européenne et géopolitique de l'énergie - Tome 6, Governance of Oil in Africa: Unfinished Business

This study is dedicated to sub-Saharan Africa where considerable resources in oil and gas have been found. The Gulf of Guinea holds considerable promise for oil and gas for world markets, but the experiences of the past decades suggest a need for substantial reforms. Income distribution, welfare, development are not generally the business of energy companies, but if governments do not see to these basic requirements of their populations, energy companies will not be able to bring those energy commodities to the market. This book includes four chapters that examine how energy, governance, corruption, income distribution, and corporate issues are linked.
