| Summary |
"Jill Shankleman's book Oil, Profits, and Peace presents an evenhanded picture of the obstacles, fiscal incentives, and growing potential for Western oil companies to ameliorate or even prevent conflict in the areas where they operate." "Drawing on years of field experience and new data from corporations, NGOs, and hundreds of personal interviews, the author explores the links between oil and conflict, and changing notions and forms of corporate responsibility. Oil, Profits, and Peace spotlights three oil-dependent countries - Angola, Azerbaijan, and Sudan - that have had very different experiences with conflict and the oil industry, and concludes with recommendations for government and corporate policymakers."--Jacket. |
