'Mining Industrialisation in the African Periphery: Disruption and Dependency in South Kivu, DRC'

On 20 September 2019, Ben Radley will defend his PhD thesis on 'Mining Industrialisation in the African Periphery: Disruption and Dependency in South Kivu, DRC'.

In his thesis, Ben investigates the theoretical foundations of the African Minerals Consensus. This consensus is founded on the general premise that African low-income countries should leverage their comparative advantage in minerals to drive productivity growth through TNC-led mining (re)industrialization.
