Public Affairs 2015 321 S. Ill. 25 cm Register Includes bibligraphical references and index The trade in oil, gas, gems, metals and rare earth minerals wreaks havoc in Africa. During the years when Brazil, India, China and the other "emerging markets" have transformed their economies, Africa's resource states remained tethered to the bottom of the industrial supply chain. While Africa accounts for about 30 per cent of the world's reserves of hydrocarbons and minerals and 14 per cent of the world's population, its share of global manufacturing stood in 2011 exactly where it stood in 2000: at 1 percent. In his first book, The Looting Machine , Tom Burgis exposes the truth about the African development miracle: for the resource states, it's a mirage. The oil, copper, diamonds, gold and coltan deposits attract a global network of traders, bankers, corporate extractors and investors who combine with venal political cabals to loot the states' value. And the vagaries of resource-dependent economies could pitch Africa's new middle class back into destitution just as quickly as they climbed out of it. The ground beneath their feet is as precarious as a Congolese mine shaft; their prosperity could spill away like crude from a busted pipeline. This catastrophic social disintegration is not merely a continuation of Africa's past as a colonial victim. The looting now is accelerating as never before. As global demand for Africa's resources rises, a handful of Africans are becoming legitimately rich but the vast majority, like the continent as a whole, is being fleeced. Outsiders tend to think of Africa as a great drain of philanthropy. But look more closely at the resource industry and the relationship between Africa and the rest of the world looks rather different Entwicklungspolitik (DE-588)4014957-2 gnd Ressourcenpolitik (DE-588)4177874-1 gnd Rohstoffhandel (DE-588)4136421-1 gnd Versagen (DE-588)4258790-6 gnd Ausbeutung (DE-101)040036774 gnd Bergbau (DE-101)040056147 gnd Wirtschaftsbeziehungen (DE-101)040682978 gnd Ressourcen (DE-101)040766756 gnd Oligarchie (DE-101)041725484 gnd Wirtschaftsentwicklung (DE-101)040664384 gnd Mineral industries Africa Mines and mineral resources Africa Governance (DE-588)4639012-1 gnd Rohstoff (DE-588)4050419-0 gnd Politischer Konflikt (DE-588)4115589-0 gnd Plünderung (DE-588)4201732-4 gnd Legitimation (DE-588)4114382-6 gnd Welthandel (DE-588)4065365-1 gnd Ausbeutung (DE-588)4003677-7 gnd Korruption (DE-588)4032524-6 gnd Mineralischer Rohstoff (DE-588)4039441-4 gnd Multinationales Unternehmen (DE-588)4075092-9 gnd Natürliche Ressourcen (DE-588)4075236-7 gnd Neokolonialismus (DE-588)4115362-5 gnd Rohstoffreserve (DE-588)4425009-5 gnd Elite (DE-588)4014457-4 gnd Globalisierung (DE-588)4557997-0 gnd Industriestaaten (DE-101)040268403 gnd Afrika (DE-101)040006956 gnd Africa Economic conditions Africa Foreign economic relations Afrika (DE-588)4000695-5 gnd u LB 55465 idslu LR BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Stoppsignal FRED nebis DS 250 IDS LU af SzZuIDS BS/BE wi SzZuIDS BS/BE IDSBB A125 A125 125F1 UBW_QG_700 33 NELA1251506 IDSBB A322 A322 FH TPH HC 800- 51 akz:ba/psti/k/NELAA3221704 IDSBB B599 B599 FH WTI BURGIS NELB5991505 IDSLU 100 1- Burgis Tom (DE-588)112373075X ALEX 100 1- Burgis Tom IDSBB 100 1- Burgis Tom (DE-588)112373075X IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 A100 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006361350/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis IDSLU ILU50 https://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006361350/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 333947622
