Beschreibung
"The Petro-State Masquerade studies the fraught relationship between fossil fuels and political power in Trinidad and Tobago. Examining the past, present, and future of the country's oil and gas industries, anthropologist Ryan Jobson traces the processes by which early economic growth turned into a recession, leading to loss of state control and the incursion of foreign capital. Despite the islands' increasingly volatile and vulnerable financial condition, however, government officials have continued to promote it as a land of inexhaustible resources and limitless potential profit. The result is what Jobson calls a "masquerade of governance," whereby Trinidad and Tobago persists in projecting an image of itself meant to appeal to multinational investors, both as a natural paradise as well as the site of large infrastructure projects that bank on a future known to be uncertain. In his book, Jobson examines the gulf between this state-crafted narrative and the vexed realities of the country's failed petrochemical aspirations, arguing that its ongoing decolonization lies in the disarticulation of natural resources, capital, and political power"--
