Join Meriam Library for the launch of Dr. Angela Zivo Gapa's new book The Politics of New African Resource Discoveries in the Post-Curse Era. The book explores the "resource curse", African political economy, and the need for a nuanced understanding of resource flows in the global context. Dr. Gapa together with two contributing authors, Dr. Michael Ohene Aboagye and Dr. Cliff Ubba Kodero will offer case studies on the post-curse era in Mozambique, Ghana, and Uganda, respectively.
Participants will learn about the resource curse in the African continental context and gain insight into how African political leaders and African civil society have responded to new resource discoveries. Participants will gain an understanding of the complexities and challenges African countries face in leveraging natural resources for economic growth within the constraints of the global political economy.
