The recent escalation in the violent conflict in the Niger Delta
has brought the region to the forefront of international energy and
security concerns. This book analyses the causes, dynamics and
politics underpinning oil-related violence in the Niger Delta
region of Nigeria. It focuses on the drivers of the conflict, as
well as the ways the crises spawned by the political economy of oil
and contradictions within Nigeria's ethnic politics have
contributed to the morphing of initially poorly coordinated,
largely non-violent protests into a pan-Delta insurgency.
Approaching the issue from a number of perspectives, the book
offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive analysis available of
the varied dimensions of the conflict. Combining empirically-based
and analytic chapters, it attempts to explain the causes of the
escalation in violence, the various actors, levels and dynamics
involved, and the policy challenges faced with regard to conflict
management/resolution and the options for peace. It also examines
the role of oil as a commodity of global strategic significance,
addressing the relationship between oil, energy security and
development in the Niger Delta.
