The discrepancy between demand and supply is worrisome within the old and new cores of the world-economy. Sub-Saharan Africa meanwhile possesses vast potential for energy resources to be further exploited. Whilst the Global North is a traditional player in the sub-Saharan energy sector, new actors from emerging economies - especially China's state-owned enterprises but also Brazilian, Indian and South African giants - have entered what appears to be a scramble for the largely untapped energy resources of the region. This book is the first to bring together comparative perspectives on: Â- The strategies of state and non-state actors involved in the exploitation of sub-Saharan energy resources. Â- The potential and pitfalls of new forms of cooperation on energy southwards of the Sahara. Â- The domestic opportunities and challenges of the present energy resource boom. Dynamics on the international level are brought together with local developments to provide up-to-date insights on the scramble for energy resources in sub-Saharan Africa. This book also advances a materialist approach applicable in geographical and political-scientific research, showing that much insight can be gained by concentrating on the material environment that shapes economic and political phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T\u0026F","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45091036037271,"sku":"9781472430762","price":12867.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781472430762.webp?v=1767899065","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-new-scramble-for-africa-the-rush-for-energy-resources-in-sub-saharan-africa-9781472430762","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
