Abstract
This theoretical framework addresses the complex interplay of politics, economics, and natural resource extraction in central Africa through a specific case study of Senegal. This study employs a qualitative approach to analyse existing literature, government documents, and case studies from Senegal’s history of natural resource exploitation. The theoretical framework underscores the need for balanced policy-making between resource extraction benefits and sustainable urban planning solutions. Recommendations include integrating more robust social impact assessments into resource exploration permits, promoting community participation in decision-making processes, and fostering international cooperation to address transboundary environmental challenges.
