IngentaConnect Angola: Economy, Politics and Government

Abstract:

Angola's socio-economic and political fabric provides a perfect study in paradox. Potentially the richest country in Africa, it has never had the opportunity to exploit its vast natural resources, which could help alleviate the perennial suffering of its almost 13 million people. Angola's rich potential lies in its natural endowment of two of the world's most precious and most sought after minerals, oil and diamonds. Yet many political analysts believe oil and diamonds continue to be a hindrance in Angola's search for peace and stability and much-needed economic growth and development.
