Freiburg Africa Talks: "Conflict, Rule of Law and Critical Minerals in Africa"
African exports of natural resources constitute roughly 74% of total merchandise exports and the continent is home to about 30% of all global mineral reserves. However, the region has failed to harness these opportunities to foster sustainable development. Even worse, more than half of all 37 countries categorized as fragile and conflict-affected states are to be found in Africa. In fact, fragile and conflict-affected states are significantly shaped by the failure in embedding the rule of law in the governance of resource extraction.
This Freiburg Africa Talk seeks to explore the interactions that underpin conflict, rule of law and governance of mineral resources in Africa, as well as to proffer options for the future.
