The case for "Local Oil Nationalism" -- From peace to conflict (and back) -- Bolivia and Sudan: A perfect split -- Indonesia and Malaysia: Islands, ethnicities, oil -- China and Iran: The risk for peripheral producing enclaves -- Angola and Nigeria: Tribal fragmentation in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Stefano Casertano explores the connections between the presence of energy natural resources and the development of "local nationalism" in the producing regions. In particular, he applies a specific focus on those cases where such nationalism leads to secession attempts. The research is based on eight case studies in Bolivia, Sudan, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Iran, Angola, and Nigeria.
