内容説明
Praise for the first edition, Angola from Afro-Stalinism to Petro-Diamond Capitalism:
While most interpretations of the situation in Angola agree that the country suffers from deep divisions that will not easily be overcome, few analysts have been able satisfactorily to explain why one of the potentially richest countries in Africa should be in such a wretched state. Tony Hodges's book is the first analytically to link together the various economic and political strands that must be examined in order to provide a plausible account of Angola's post-colonial tragedy." -Patrick Chabal, International Affairs
... a brief account of how a state once run by Marxist poets, men of high ideals, has turned into another Nigeria." -Times Literary Supplement
A veteran observer of Angola, Hodges covers the whole appalling mess with notable detachment." -Foreign Affairs
Updated and revised following the death of Jonas Savimbi and the suppression of the UNITA rebels, this new edition discusses prospects for using Angola's oil wealth to end the country's staggering poverty, rising illiteracy, and increasing child mortality.

内容説明
Provides a comprehensive account of the severity of the problems that face war-torn, underdeveloped, oil producing states.
This second enlarged and updated edition includes the death of Savimbi, which brought the MPLA/UNITA war to a close. Meanwhile the oil companies rush for the very deep offshore claims which are insulated from the dangers of civilstrife. The study focuses on the profound changes in Angola's political economy.
TONY HODGES worked in Angola for UN agencies from 1994-1998
