Abstract:
Implementing a strategy of diversifying the sources of America's energy imports will require securing access to and encouraging increased production of oil resources in Africa. The current U.S. policy of promoting economic freedom and political accountability, transparency and accountability in the energy sector, and enhanced security is the best way to secure stable access to natural resources for the long term.
