India, China and crude politics
Harper Collins India published a South Asia edition of DIIS senior researcher’s book ‘The New Kings of Crude: China, India, and the Global Struggle for Oil in Sudan and South Sudan’.
Award winning Indian author and journalist Aman Sethi wrote a review of the book for the Business Standard:
‘Patey, a researcher at the Danish Institute of International Studies, focuses on the development of the petroleum sector in Sudan, China and India, using anecdotes, interviews and first-person accounts to sketch deft portraits of the principal personalities and institutions …'
The New Kings of Crude is a clear-eyed account of the machinations of the newest players in the global oil business. The growth of India, China and the African continent is mirrored by the rise of a new and interesting rhetoric where deals, once delivered on the promise of "western technology" and know-how, are now forged on the anvil of "South-South" cooperation.’
The New Kings of Crude is available world-wide through Hurst Publishers.
