"Capital flight and oil in Africa", 19 September 2014: SAIIA's [South African Institute for International Affairs] Western Cape Branch invites you to a public seminar by Dr Mare Sarr on "Capital Flight and Oil in Africa."...[to be hosted at]  The Centre for the Book, 62 Queen Victoria Street, Gardens, Cape Town...[on]   Monday 22 September 2014... 17h30 for 18h00, to end at 19h30...Dr Mare Sarr is Assistant Professor at the School of Economics, University of Cape Town. He was also, until late 2012, the director of UCT’s Environmental Policy Research Unit. He completed his PhD on natural resources and institutions in 2008, at University College, London. Since then he has published widely in books and academic journals, in addition to having consulted for the World Bank. Of particular interest for us at SAIIA’s Governance of Africa’s Resources Programme (GARP) is Professor Sarr’s work on ‘the looting of nations’ and the economic modeling of choices that an authoritarian ruler might make in the presence of windfall resource wealth.
