abstract |
The institutional responses of Africa's new producers to the early 21st century commodity
boom differed both between and within countries over time. Despite making similarly
sized discoveries in the mid-2000s, Ghana and Uganda took different routes, with Ghana
oscillating between a neoliberal modality and a soft version of resource nationalism
(depending on which party was in power), whilst Uganda adopted a more consistent and
robust resource nationalist position. Current explanations for varieties of resource
governance tend to focus on either institutions or ideas. We argue for an alternative
theoretical perspective that locates the entwined role of both institutions and ideas
within a deeper analysis of a country's ‘political settlement’. This offers a more
compelling explanation for the varied responses to the commodity boom in sub-Saharan
Africa, and suggests that different types of political settlements have had significant
implications for how oil governance has progressed in different contexts. |
