The
Fair-Trade Oil Share Ghana (FTOS-Gh) Campaign, under the auspices of the Centre
For Natural Resources and Environmental Management (CNREM) and GhanaHero.Com, has
issued a call for papers on Ghana’s petroleum and oil resources, including extraction
and sales of oil on the world market beginning in 2010.
While
final submissions will be selected by a Board composed of experts on several
aspects of the topic, interested scholars, journalists, students, civil society
organizations, etc., may submit papers on any aspect of the subject (history, policy,
law, finance, environment, development, extraction, justice, economics,
marketing, sustainability, regulatory, process innovation, public outreach, social
responsibility, sociology, security, etc.), in addition to comparative analyses
with respect to operations of foreign oil companies in other nations. The vison of the project is to provide, as
much as possible, a holistic coverage on the subject that will serve the
interests of Ghanaian readers, Diasporans, researchers, and other international
readers, including policy makers, and generally engender informed citizenship
among Ghanaians.
While
the Selection Committee will most be interested in unpublished papers, papers
that have already been published on Ghana’s petroleum and oil resources will be
considered for inclusion where the content of the paper fits with the goal of
the project and there are no issues with copyright. As well, Book Reviews on
subject will be considered. Expressions
of interest and proposal submissions accompanied by abstracts must reach the
Selection Committee by 20 November, 2019, as indicated below.
Authors
may submit proposals (Title of Paper, Name of Author(s), Contact Information,
Abstract of 150-250 words, and subject as indicated below), by 20 November,
2019, to the Coordinator, copy to the Secretary, “Proposal for Paper – Ghana
