The focus of this research is about the post-colonial exploitation of natural resources in Africa in
the context of neoliberal globalization. First, I outline the theoretical framework drawing from
studies on neoliberal globalization and development. This is followed by a discussion on some of
the negative effects of neoliberal regulations, particularly on how neoliberalism fosters growing
inequality where a few are massively enriching their lives at the expense of others. This economic
world order has a deep impact on humans as well as on nature and is not sustainable. I will
conclude the theoretical discussion with a look at the rise of many alter neoliberal movements.
The second part of this thesis is a practical teaching and resource guide focusing on the link
between neoliberalism and local conflicts in Africa which as I shall contend is based and fueled by
international corporations. It provides an overview of the topic of conflict minerals, with
Democratic Republic of Congo as a case study. [-]
