Full Title: A New Scramble for Africa? Imperialism, Investment and Development
This book raises significant general questions relating to the nature of emerging global competition between the US and China, the centrality of the struggle for oil and minerals and resulting militarisation; the international battle to capture Africa's markets; the marginalisation of African capitalism; and the ambiguous benefits that investment and production by multinational companies bring to African communities. Arguing the exploitation of the continent by comprador African elites remains central, the book concludes by asking relevant questions about the prospects for development in Africa.
