It has been suggested that Africa is experiencing a NewScramble thanks primarily to its oil and gas wealth,with the United States and the Peoples Republic of Chinaactively competing for access to Africas resources. Thisarticle aims to scrutinize the claim that Africa is facing aNew Scramble, analysing the nature of the economic and politicalchanges at work, the importance of Africas oil, and thepolitical and economic forces behind the new oil rush. The articlestarts with an overview of the phenomenon labelled by some asthe New Scramble. The main body of the articleevaluates the existence of a New Scramble from three subjectperspectives: history, international relations, and businessstudies. Finally, by analysing the likely impact on the economiesof oil-producing states, it considers whether we should dismayor rejoice over the New Scramble for Africa. Itconcludes that the existence of a New Scramble or a USChineserace for Africa should be treated with some caution and thatthe use of terms such as scramble and raceis perhaps misleading, while the economic impact of oil investmentsis likely to be bleak. 相似文献
