Abstract
This briefing examines the forces behind and some of the
consequences of artisanal oil refining in Nigeria. Critical political
economy is used to explore the asymmetrical power relations
between the people, government and oil companies, drawing on
new material to account for an unexplored dimension of the
marginalisation of oil-bearing communities.
