Examining shifts in the Angola–China relations in the post-dos santos era
The Angola–China connection has famously been branded a ‘marriage of convenience’—an ‘uneasy alliance’ forged for pragmatic reasons at an opportune time of mutual need. In this article, we document how the relationship has more recently undergone a marital burnout of sorts. Chinese loans to Angola have dried up and most Chinese state-owned enterprises have left, as have 90 percent of Chinese migrants. The legacy of this marriage is somewhat mixed…
Different times, same story
Synthesising results of field study research and statistical data analysis, we scrutinise development models pursued by Tanzania and examine to what extent they changed the structure of the country’s economy. Particular attention is devoted to the mining sector and its role in keeping Tanzania at the periphery of the global economy. Our findings suggest that not only does the structural dependency continue to the current period, but its presence …
Reproduction and convertibility
Inspired by Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of capital convertibility, this article investigates why wealth inequalities in South Africa under the African National Congress have remained so persistently stubborn and how it is possible that the revolutionary movement, ostensibly devoted to the ideals of the Freedom Charter, has not managed to radically improve matters 25 years after the fall of apartheid. Based on a series of interviews conducted with So…
David versus Goliath
This article presents and analyses how Tanzania, a country on the global 'periphery' with a natural resource sector dominated by capital from the Global North, has thus far failed to transform its mineral wealth into sustained economic development. Using Immanuel Wallerstein's 'world systems theory' as the theoretical framework, we exemplify how the 'core' exploited gold reserves in the 1990s and into the new century - and what techniques and mec…
The Norwegian Model of Oil Extraction and Revenues Management in Uganda
According to the latest figures, Uganda has 6.5 billion barrels of oil deposits, which makes it the third-largest oil holder in sub-Saharan Africa. Currently the country is preparing its legal and institutional framework for proper management of the oil revenues. However, developing an effective oil sector in any of the SSA states has so far proved to be a futile task. To ensure that Uganda is not going to repeat the mistakes of Nigeria, the coun…
Why is it Taking so Long? Solving the Oil Extraction Equation in Uganda
During the past decade, Uganda has become one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, but the country’s development needs have not yet been met, and the government’s revenue sources are less than sufficient to satisfy them. Therefore, when oil was discovered in 2006, hopes were raised regarding Uganda’s future, since the oil money could provide substantial funds enabling a transformation of the country. According to the latest figures, Uganda h…
Ready or Not
The primary objective of this paper is to assess whether Namibia is ready to become an oil producer. The geological estimates suggest that the country may possess the equivalent of as many as 11 billion barrels of crude oil. If the numbers are correct, Namibia would be sitting on the second-largest oil reserves in sub-Saharan Africa, and exploitation could start as soon as 2017. This clearly raises the question of whether Namibia is next in line …
Resource curse or resource disease? Oil in Ghana
Ghana has recently joined the ranks of oil-producing states with a projected output of 120,000 barrels per day. This has greatly elevated hopes among the general public, but also sparked fears of a ‘Nigerian scenario’ in which oil becomes a problem rather than a solution. This article argues that Ghana, as a latecomer to the oil industry, may possess a structural immunity against the natural resource curse. The argument centres on three main fact…
