This book examines the relationship between the discovery and development of oil resources and socio-political instability in Mauritanian between 2001 and 2011.

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
