The Economist reviews The New Kings of Crude

The New Kings of Crude: China, India, and the Global Struggle for Oil in Sudan and South Sudan , by DIIS senior researcher Luke Patey, was recently reviewed in The Economist:

‘As Mr Patey writes, despite worsening returns and growing unease, Sudan remains the “largest overseas achievement” of the state-owned oil companies of both China and India. [...] Patey’s book has pen-portraits of the individuals who spearheaded and maintained exploration programmes in Sudan, … the “new kings of crude” [who] may yet have a role in trying to quell the violence in the two Sudans.’
