Global energy consumption will increase rapidly in the next
decades. The discrepancy between demand and supply is worrisome
within the old and new cores of the world-economy. Sub-Saharan
Africa meanwhile possesses vast potential for energy resources to
be further exploited. Whilst the Global North is a traditional
player in the sub-Saharan energy sector, new actors from emerging
economies - especially China's state-owned enterprises but also
Brazilian, Indian and South African giants - have entered what
appears to be a scramble for the largely untapped energy resources
of the region. This book is the first to bring together comparative
perspectives on: A* The strategies of state and non-state actors
involved in the exploitation of sub-Saharan energy resources. A*
The potential and pitfalls of new forms of cooperation on energy
southwards of the Sahara. A* The domestic opportunities and
challenges of the present energy resource boom. Dynamics on the
international level are brought together with local developments to
provide up-to-date insights on the scramble for energy resources in
sub-Saharan Africa. This book also advances a materialist approach
applicable in geographical and political-scientific research,
showing that much insight can be gained by concentrating on the
material environment that shapes economic and political phenomena.
