In response to the recent surge in extractive natural resource
investments in Africa, this insightful book explores how relations
between investors, ruling elites, and local populations develop
when large-scale investments in gas, minerals, and agriculture
expand. Advancing a multi-level approach that encompasses rigorous
theoretical analysis, fieldwork, and literature review, expert
contributors examine the implementation of natural resource
investments and the extent to which they respect procedural rights
of local populations. Chapters draw together understudied bodies of
literature on land-grabbing debates, the resource curse controversy
and corporate social responsibility (CSR), demonstrating how the
chances of large-scale investments in natural resources are at
their greatest when characterised by 'reciprocal exchange deals'
between investors and local populations, 'compatible interests'
between ruling elites and investors, and 'mutual recognition'
between local populations and ruling elites. Through a careful
examination of case studies in Mozambique, Tanzania, and Uganda,
the book ultimately highlights the complexity of the political
economy of natural resource investments. Providing valuable
theoretical and empirical insights, this book will be an
invigorating read for scholars and students of political economy,
political geography, sustainability, CSR, and business studies. Its
valuable insights on how natural resource investments might
accelerate economic growth and consolidate links between local and
global economies will also be of interest to development
practitioners and investors.
