Au-delà des stéréotypes : la culture politique du pétrole et l’État en Afrique - Perouse de Montclos, Marc-Antoine (Les Afriques dans le monde (Sciences Po Bordeaux/CNRS, UMR 5115), 2019)
A prolific and non-consensual academic literature makes it difficult to analyse the relationship between oil production, the state and the citizen in Africa. While criticizing the resource curse theory and deconstructing stereotypes on the black gold, this paper thus calls for more field research and monographic studies. Illustrated by a focus on Nigeria, it does not claim to be exhaustive but it shows that most African states have become prime actors of oil production on the continent. Indeed, the political economy of a global word has changed a lot since the nationalization of the oil industry in the 1970s.
