在经历了几十年的欠发达和面对巨大资源财富的冲突之后，安哥拉正在制定新的战略，以显著增加其在石油和天然气及相关服务部门的参与。尽管“当地内容”或“安哥拉内容”已经存在了几十年，但它在很大程度上未能增加该国资源财富带来的发展效益。新的本土内容努力可能会在促进经济增长方面取得成功。然而，这些政策也成为不平等增长和精英聚集的新形式的重要机制。本文回顾了地方内容的历史背景、法律框架和当前的影响，以强调它们在创造发展的同时将精英力量集中在安哥拉的双重作用。
Abstract After decades of underdevelopment and conflict in the face of massive resource wealth, Angola is putting in place new strategies to dramatically increase its participation in its oil & gas and related services sectors. Although ‘local content’, or ‘Angolanização’, has been in place for decades, it has largely failed to increase the developmental benefits accruing from the country's resource wealth. The new local content push is likely to succeed at promoting economic growth. However, the policies have also become important mechanisms for unequal growth and new forms of elite accumulation. This paper reviews the historical context, legal framework, and current impact of local content in order to emphasise their dual role in creating development while concentrating elite power in Angola.
