Oil exploration in the developing world has been and continues to
be a high profile and high risk activity attracting media coverage
and stimulating much debate. In Governance of the Petroleum Sector
in an Emerging Developing Economy, Professor Kwaku Appiah-Adu has
assembled an edited volume that provides insight into critical
aspects of this highly sensitive activity. Professor Appiah-Adu's
starting point is Ghana, where he has been closely involved in
national policy-making. The book makes comparisons between that
African country and others as diverse as Trinidad and Tobago, and
Norway. The contributors, global experts in their respective
fields, explore five critical themes and propose strategies for
progress in each. You will find an in-depth analysis relating to:
turning oil and gas wealth into sustainable and equitable
development; entrenching transparency and stakeholder engagement;
effective management of the oil and gas sector; and safeguarding
security and the environment. Finally, country specific models and
lessons, particularly for Ghana and other African oil producing
nations, are offered. This book serves as reference for business
practitioners, policy makers, scholars, students and anyone
interested in gaining insight into the oil and gas sector,
particularly as it pertains to Ghana and other African petroleum
producing nations, with lessons drawn from the global arena and
international best practice.
