Democratic Republic of Congo: Conditions, Issues and U.S. Relations

ISBN: 9781631175442 出版年：2014 页码：127 Shelby Rake Nova Science

Insecurity, poor governance, and a long-running humanitarian crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) present a range of challenges for U.S. policymakers, including the U.S. Congress. Chronic instability in eastern DRC, an area rich in minerals and other natural resources, has caused widespread human suffering and inhibited private sector investment throughout the Great Lakes region—which includes DRC and its neighbors to the east. This book discusses the background and United States policy of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and provides insight on the DRC's conditions and issues. (Imprint: Novinka)
