When the dutch disease met the french connection: Oil, macroeconomics and forests in Gabon

---

When the Dutch Disease Met the French Connection: Oil, Macroeconomics and Forests in Gabon analyzes the complex interplay between natural resource dependence, economic policy, and environmental sustainability in Gabon. The book explores how the discovery and exploitation of oil reshaped the country's macroeconomic structure, leading to symptoms of the “Dutch Disease,” such as declining competitiveness in non-oil sectors and increased economic dependency. It also examines the political and economic influence of France—referred to as the “French Connection”—in shaping Gabon’s development path and forest management policies. Combining economic analysis with environmental perspectives, the book provides a critical reflection on the long-term consequences of resource-led growth and governance in postcolonial Africa.
