Abstract
El significativo incremento de las inversiones extranjeras en el sector
extractivo africano en la última década, ha hecho renacer el debate acerca
de los efectos sobre el desarrollo de las rentas generadas por este sector.
Desde la teoría de la maldición de los recursos se argumenta que los efectos
negativos de estas rentas sobre el desarrollo tienen que ver básicamente con
disfunciones internas, soslayando los elementos y actores externos que dan
forma e influyen en éstas. El caso del Chad, país productor de petróleo desde
2003 con el apoyo del Banco Mundial, es presentado y analizado en este
artículo, llegando a la conclusión de que el análisis de la inserción periférica
es crucial para comprender las disfunciones generadas por la renta petrolera
en el país.
The significant increase in foreign investment in the African extractive sector in the last decade has refuelled the debate on the effects on development of the rents generated in this sector. From the resource curse theory it is argued that the negative effects of these rents on development rents have to do basically with internal disfunctions, getting around the elements and external actors that shape and influence these internal features. The case of Chad, an oil-producing country since 2003 with the support of the World Bank, is presented and analysed in this article, reaching the conclusion that the analysis of the peripherical insertion of the country is crucial to understand the disfunctions generated by oil rents.
