Le bassin tchadien à l'épreuve de l'or noir

Abstract

The exploitation of oilfields in Doba, Chad, which began at the end of 2003, has taken on a novel form. The World Bank has imposed an unprecedented supervisory board as a condition of its financing: that is, the project must be a catalyst for development. But the Bank’s bet, which aims to increase state capabilities, is risky. The black gold rush that has followed in the wake of the Chad-Cameroon pipeline could also incite a state crisis by contributing to the emergence of extra-territorial archipelagos, and by reinforcing rivalries for the control of this new rent at every level.
