This report summarizes proceedings from an annual Fatal Transactions conference to discuss the topic of private companies and emerging economies in zones of conflict and sub-Saharan Africa in particular. It argues that the key to end resource-related violence is improved resource governance. The various sections include specific perspectives from Botswana, Liberia, Côte d’Ivoire and Sudan. The participants discuss new emerging economies and Africa's resource market; emerging South-South relations; and EU and China-Africa relations and responsibilities in resource management in (post-)conflict Africa.
