This book explores Ghana’s newfound oil wealth and how the revenues it generates can be used to produce inclusive economic growth and development. Comparisons are made with neighboring countries, including Nigeria, Angola, and Equatorial Guinea, to highlight how petroleum resources can create jobs, increase research and development skills, and generate government revenue to invest in local services and infrastructure. The impact of global developments, such as the 2014-16 oil slump and innovation within the industry, are also covered.Petroleum Resource Management in Africa to provide policy suggestions and an operational framework for other petroleum producing countries. It will be of interest to academics and policymakers interested in resource and development economics.

This book examines mining justice through a problem-driven political economy lens, analysing the complex interests that shape the exploitation of critical minerals needed to power the global energy transition and achieve decarbonisation across different jurisdictions. As demand for these minerals intensifies, questions of equity, governance, and sustainability are becoming central to debates on mineral extraction and resource governance.The book explores how critical mineral development can advance not only global climate objectives but also broader goals of restorative mining and economic justice. It focuses on the technological, economic, institutional, and legal dynamics that shape mineral governance and influence how the benefits and burdens of extraction are distributed. By situating mining within wider debates on development, industrial policy, and global energy transitions, the analysis highlights both the opportunities and tensions associated with expanding mineral extraction to support decarbonisation.Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the book integrates insights from economics, law, political science, and social analysis to examine how justice can be conceptualised and operationalised in the mining sector. It develops a rigorous theoretical framework for understanding justice in mineral resource governance while engaging with the practical realities faced by governments, communities, and industry actors.Through this integrated perspective, the book provides a clear account of the governance challenges surrounding critical mineral development and offers new insights into how mining can be aligned with equitable and sustainable development in a rapidly evolving global energy landscape.
