Once marginalized in the world economy, Africa today is a major
global supplier of crucial raw materials like oil, uranium and
coltan. China's part in this story has loomed particularly large in
recent years, and the American military footprint on the continent
has also expanded. But a new scramble for resources, markets and
territory is now taking place in Africa involving not just state,
but non state-actors, including Islamic fundamentalist and other
rebel groups. The second edition of Padraig Carmody's popular book
explores the dynamics of the new scramble for African resources,
markets, and territory and the impact of current investment and
competition on people, the environment, and political and economic
development on the continent. Fully revised and updated throughout,
its chapters explore old and new economic power interests in
Africa; oil, minerals, timber, biofuels, land, food and fisheries;
and the nature and impacts of Asian and South African investment in
manufacturing and other sectors. The New Scramble for Africa will
be essential reading for students of African studies, international
relations and resource politics, as well as anyone interested in
current affairs.
