Q2. What are the future works in "‘national resources’? the fragmented citizenship of gas extraction in tanzania" ?
The authors have shown how the politics of resource conflict actually serves to extend the fragmentation or ‘ differentiated ’ nature of Tanzanian citizenship, which also serves to reveal the fault lines of national claims to distributive justice. Here, the physical manifestation of gas, in the form of a pipeline, serves to further fracture an already differentiated citizenship with the state seen by some as more of a conduit for flows of international capital than as an institution committed to distributive justice. In this instance the focus is on the southern Mtwara ( and to a lesser extent Lindi ) region, illustrating a further fracturing of the ‘ national ’ picture in Tanzania and perhaps reflective of a ‘ differentiated citizenship ’. Moreover, this has led to the articulation of an array of alternative ways of imagining the political and economic future of gas extraction with radical alternatives – from further protests to secessionism – forwarded as possible solutions.
