Abstract

An unexpected case of business success in one of the world's worst governed states, Angola is investigated with focus on the national oil company, Sonangol. It illustrates the extent to which business in a nominal 'failed state' can be successful by safeguarding the interests of the political elite, even while neglecting the common public.
