Governance of the Petroleum Sector in an Emerging Developing Economy
16 August 2013
Oil exploration in the developing world has been and continues to be a high profile and high risk activity attracting media coverage and stimulating much debate. In Governance of the Petroleum Sector in an Emerging Developing Economy, Professor Kwaku Appiah-Adu has assembled an edited volume that provides insight into critical aspects of this highly sensitive activity.
Oil exploration in the developing world has been and continues to be a high profile and high risk activity, often featured in the media and widely debated. Using the perspective of Ghana and comparisons with countries such as Trinidad and Tobago, and Norway, the contributors, global experts in their respective fields, explore five critical areas and propose strategies for: turning oil and gas wealth into sustainable and equitable development; entrenching transparency and stakeholder engagement; effective management of the oil and gas sector; and for safeguarding security and the environment. Country specific models and lessons for Ghana and other African oil producing nations are offered.Order via the Gower website by 31st December 2013 and receive 20% discount – exclusive to Approved Business – quote discount code G11EFG20 when ordering.
