State owned oil companies, North–South and South–South perspectives on investment

Blanco, Elena

Abstract

This chapter examines MNCs’ relationship with home and host states in the course of resource extraction. It begins by looking at the early extractive imperial companies from a North–South perspective and tries to contextualize the lasting legacy of colonial plunder as resource extraction politics evolved through the decolonisation period first and the advent of globalization later, until the emergence and growth of South–South investment in the postcolonial world. The chapter focuses on a particular type of resource – oil, and on a particular type of company – state owned.
