1. Introduction: Human Security, Oil Revenues, and Conflict -- 2. The History and Geology of Petroleum in West Africa -- 3. External Stakeholders and the Geopolitics of Oil -- 4. Oil Revenues and the State -- 5. Oil and Community Agitation -- 6. Civil Society and Global Frameworks -- 7. Managing Disputes in West Africa’s Petroleum Industry -- 8. Conclusion: Implications for the Field of Conflict Resolution. .

This book offers a new look at the oil industry in West Africa, proposing to examine the entire region that has been viewed through the lens of Nigeria, Ghana and Gabon. The author argues that, in order to address peace and stability in the region, it is important to understand the transformative powers of petroleum revenue. The project also includes the author’s analysis of the problem on multiple levels: international oil companies, states, and local communities. Also, it takes a deeper look at the effects and importance of local communities in the above countries and discusses adequately the strategic challenges that petro-capitalism poses for West Africa’s regional stability and human security. Vandy Kanyako is Associate Professor at Portland State University, USA.
