Transnational Corporations in Conflict Zones: Shell and Society – Securing the Niger Delta?

In the words of one Shell worker, “you pay whomever you have to pay. That’s just the way it is” (p.10). The location of Shell’s priorities is perhaps most clearly seen when the US$60 million the company spends per year on community development is compared to the money reserved for pacifying local militias. Watts asserts that it amounts to “at least double that figure” and may be as high as “US$200 million per annum” or “10% of the operating budget”.
