The African continent is home to enormous reserves of oil, gas, energy and solid minerals, including renewable energy resources. Such resources are crucial for these countries’ economic development, albeit that most of these countries have fallen prey of the resource curse conundrum, with many of their citizens remaining poor, and depending on less than the equivalent of a US dollar per day. Nevertheless, these resources have been a source of revenue to many African countries and have financed various developmental infrastructural projects. However, these resources have also attracted various disputes among the relevant stakeholders. In the management, governance and development of natural resources, conflicts among the relevant stakeholders can and do arise. In the mining sector, for instance, conflicts are common between host communities and mining companies, and between large-scale mining companies and small-scale mining companies. This handbook focuses on the regional, national, subnational level perspective, including chapters of a more theoretical level. The handbook will also encompass the energy and mining sectors and look at a range of technologies, infrastructures, energies and minerals for example, renewables, fossil fuels, minerals.
