This book explores local content policies and their role in natural
resource management within the realm of energy justice. Based on
several country case studies it discusses the role of regional
integration for such policies in Sub-Saharan Africa. Energy justice
has been widely applied across different aspects of development,
but here the principles of justice are specifically integrated with
the management and implementation of oil and gas projects. Such an
analysis offers novel means of implementing policies in local
regions, moving away from a one-size fits all approach that leads
to the ineffective transplantation of policies from developed
economies to developing Sub-Saharan economies. The book argues that
with a regional approach, Sub-Saharan Africa can leverage natural
resources, industrial parks, supplier clusters, regional financing
mechanisms and regional training facilities which would drive down
the costs of production, increase efficiency and integrate the
local Sub-Saharan population into the oil and gas industry. This
would result in the benefits as well as the environmental concerns
and responsibilities intrinsic to these industries, being spread
more equally amongst local and none local stakeholders. This book
will be a valuable resource for scholars and students as well as
policy makers and practitioners in the areas of extractive
industry-related disciplines energy governance, and economic
development in Africa.
