    • Abstract:
      The main chapters are co-authored by members of the project, and each chapter is explicitly comparative, dealing with both the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia. In both Congo and Zambia, the surge in metal prices was accompanied by new investment opportunities, as the mining industry was privatised in both countries shortly before this mining boom. Soaring demand for minerals in the 2000s produced huge inflows of foreign direct investment into resource-rich countries in Africa and much has been written about what this means for economic development, poverty reduction, China in Africa, etc. [Extracted from the article]
