Petroleum, politics and power in Mauritania : challenging the resource curse / Max de Vietri - London : Auteur, 2021 - (211 p.)

Bibliogr. p. 204-211

This book examines the relationship between the discovery and development of oil resources and socio-political instability in Mauritanian between 2001 and 2011. It challenges versions of the oil curse thesis that give causal primacy to petroleum as an agent of instability. Based on documentary, interview and other sources, it shows that historically-rooted domestic and international factors are of greater significance than oil alone in explaining Mauritania's political instability
