The petrochemical pivot
International oil companies, petrocultures and the transatlantic divide
This review article examines divergent approaches by International Oil Companies (IOCs) to the energy transition away from fossil fuels. While these companies are subjected to similar pressures across comparable markets and operations, European IOCs have been adopting a more “progressive” approach to the transition by doing more to diversify into renewables: they have been moving into “electrons”. By contrast, American IOCs have made a more “cons…

Energy producers in sub-Saharan Africa
This article examines how gatekeeper states develop by comparing Nigeria, an archetypal gatekeeper state, with Chad, a more recent oil producer. It considers what emerging producers may learn from established ones, to thereby avoid the resource curse and thus move beyond the limitations of the gatekeeper state. Gatekeeping might be mitigated by transparency and governance initiatives promoted by International Financial Institutions, Western gover…

Comparing British and American conservatisms through the prism of African development
Conservatism and conservative party politics in Britain and America is associated with neo-colonial attitudes, including pursuit of national interests ahead of post-colonial development. Based on interviews conducted in Washington and London with actors involved with African development, this article examines comparative shifts in conservatives’ engagements from the late Cold War era to the G. W. Bush and Cameron governments. Greater ideological …
Fossil-fuelled development and the legacy of Post-Development theory in twenty-first century Africa
This article examines the legacy of Post-Development theory, in particular its relevance and applicability to debates about Africa’s future. It scrutinises Post-Development theory, and its claims about the end of development, through the prisms of Africa’s continued pursuit of development and its political economy of energy. It considers the impact of these aspects of Africa’s developmental efforts on the ability of Post-Development theory to rem…
Varieties of resource nationalism in sub-Saharan Africa's energy and minerals markets
Africa's prospects and South Africa's leadership potential in the emerging markets century
This article examines Africa's role in an evolving international system where powerful emerging markets, such as bric, together with established powers are shaping economic trajectories. The specific focus is on South Africa as an aspiring leader on the African continent, and on its potential for becoming an emerging market shaping the global order together with bric and the West. It is unclear whether a changing global economy in which the postc…
Confronting the settler legacy
Stand and Deliver
Property rights necessarily generate violent, and oftentimes lethal, processes of dispossession. While liberal theorists from Locke to Hayek consider property rights as an essential and emancipatory component of human freedom, they fail to consider societal power asymmetries impeding the ability of property rights to protect the interests of the weak and marginalised. If property rights produce freedom and prosperity, they do so very selectively.…
The African national congress and its critics
Post-apartheid South Africa is characterized by centralized, neo-liberal policymaking that perpetuates, and in some cases exaggerates, socio-economic inequalities inherited from the apartheid era. The African National Congress (ANC) leadership's alignment with powerful international and domestic market actors produces tensions within the Tripartite Alliance and between government and civil society. Consequently, several characteristics of 'predat…
Orientalism and African Development Studies
Contemporary Africa is generally depicted as a ‘failure’. ‘Progress' has eluded the continent throughout the 20th century, and despite new ways of thinking about the reasons for failure and possibilities for success, allusions to the ‘natural weakness and incapacity’ of Africans and their social realities remain evident in theoretical, policy and political discourse on development in Africa. The practice of ‘reductive repetition’, as identified b…

Divergent Paths of Development
The 1990s constitute a watershed decade for change in postcolonial Africa as one-party states have crumbled and old authoritarian leaders have stepped down or been removed. The ?rst few years of the 1990s saw about half of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa either install, or prepare for, multiparty rule (Widner 1994:1; van de Walle 1999a:21). Of course, not all change has been positive and it is not clear whether the current democratic wave can…
