This book uses extractive industry projects in Africa to explore
how political authority and the nation-state are reconfigured at
the intersection of national political contestations and global,
transnational capital. Instead of focusing on technological zones
and the new social assemblages at the actual sites of construction
or mineral extraction, the authors use extractive industry projects
as a topical lens to investigate contemporary processes of
state-making at the state-corporation nexus. Throughout the book,
the authors seek to understand how public political actors and
private actors of liberal capitalism negotiate and redefine notions
and practices of sovereignty by setting legal, regulatory and
fiscal standards. Rather than looking at resource governance from a
normative perspective, the authors look at how these negotiations
are shaped by and reshape the self-conception of various national
and transnational actors, and how these jointly redefine the role
of the state in managing these processes for the 'greater good'.
Extractive Industries and Changing State Dynamics in Africa will be
useful for researchers, upper-level students and policy-makers who
are interested in new articulations of state-making and politics in
Africa.
