The central argument of this article is that the Chávez government has accentuated the practice of "rentismo" and strengthened the petro-state in comparison to earlier periods.
BASE
In this paper, I argue that even though oil production in Uganda has not yet started, the oil is already relevant in its anticipation. In its "not-yet" state, the oil has gained a discursive presence in politics, media and civil society. I analyse the visions of the future that are created in this oil talk. The government paints a picture of a bright future, in which oil is a blessing to all, while civil society portrays oil as a shadow looming over Uganda. Despite this difference, I show that all the visions refer to the resource curse: Oil can either be a blessing or a curse. I understand the resource curse discourse as a form of risk communication. I propose that for people in the oil regions knowledge of the resource curse as a risk increases existing feelings of uncertainty with regard to the oil. The paper is based on 15 months of fieldwork in Uganda between 2012 and 2015. ; peerReviewed
