Oil Development in Africa: Lessons for Sudan after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement
Written by Luke Patey
In three separate papers, this DIIS Report explores the ‘resource curse’ dimensions of oil development in Nigeria and Angola, and draws lessons for the evolving postconflict setting of Sudan. It highlights the role of China in armed conflict, post-war reconstruction, and the peace process in Sudan, as well as elsewhere in Africa. The report is a product of an academic conference on oil in Sudan following the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, and represents an initial step to delve deeper into how Sudan can learn from its African counterparts in ensuring oil represents a positive influence to peace and development and to avoid adding further weight to the cruel standard of oil development in Africa.
