A green economy failure? : Italian investors in Senegal between green grabbing and development promises
P. 30-51
The article draws on land and green grabbing debate to critically interrogates the failure of eight Italian investment in agrofuel production in Senegal. It focuses on the characteristics of the Italian investors who were drawn to agro-energy production and of the incentives structures that motivated them. Once on site, multiple management problems and conflicts with the local population arose. The article argues that this is not solely attributable to a lack of responsibility, bad governance and ethics of individual firms: the green economy and its speculative arrangements must be considered.
