Table of ContentsReviews’The special attraction of this book lies in combining descriptive analyses, empirical studies and practical policy recommendations. Thought provoking and instructive in every respect, the content is presented in a captivating and easily digestible style, covering a range of carefully selected subjects that an emerging oil producing country cannot afford to ignore if it is to manage its petroleum resources effectively. As chair of the Technical Committee tasked to draft Ghana’s petroleum policy following the discovery of oil in commercial quantities, Professor Appiah-Adu draws on his first hand experience in understudying both resource- blessed and cursed countries as well as his network of experts in the field of oil and gas to develop this classic set of contributions. A splendid achievement by all standards and a must read for all with an interest governance and development.’ His Excellency John Agyekum Kufuor, President, Republic of Ghana, 2001-2009 ’This superbly produced book sets extremely high standards in all respects. It is easy and enjoyable to read, comprehensive in its scope and thorough in its treatment of all subjects covered. This book is transnational with examples and illustrations integrated in a consistent whole, as well as multiple links between the subject areas discussed. I strongly recommend it to all who need to be conversant with the underpinnings of effective petroleum management in a developing economy.’ E. H.
