Trade Review"This ambitious book helps us better understand how firms that extract Africa's natural resources contribute to economic development. Governance, Conflict, and Natural Resources in Africa offers comparative case studies that shed new light on the potential for foreign investors to build capacity in stable, fragile, and post-conflict states. The book's detailed coverage of governance realities 'on the ground' is informative and engaging." Adam Sneyd, University of Guelph and author of Politics Rules: Power, Globalization and Development
