Oil exploration in the developing world has been and continues to be in the media as a high profile and high risk activity. Using the perspective of Ghana and comparisons with countries such as Trinidad and Tobago, and Norway, the contributors to this book explore five critical areas and propose strategies for: - Turning oil and gas wealth into sustainable and equitable development - Entrenching transparency and stakeholder engagement - Effective management of the oil and gas sector - Safeguarding security and the environment - Country specific models and lessons for Ghana and other African oil producing nations.
