Yates' Recipes
Yates' Recipes is something that I wanted to share. Everyone has their own way of preparing meals. These are the way that I like to use them. Inside this book is the old fashion way of cooking I love and enjoy them. These recipes are quick and easy so enjoy them just like I do. My name is Douglas Alan Yates born in Waverly, TN. I am one of five siblings born to Leroy and Rose Yates. One of my passions are cooking I love to try new things. These recipes are prepared from scratch and created as I go. This is dedicated in memory of my daddy the late Leroy Yates. I enjoy farm work, hunting, working on vehicles and spending time with love ones and friends. If there is something in your life that you enjoy go for it because life is too short. And tomorrow is not promised to anyone live your life for "God." Thanks to "God," my family and America Star Books for all their work they did to publish my book.

The Scramble for African Oil
Africa is often seen as a place to be pitied or feared as an area of instability. This book challenges these complacent assumptions, showing how our demand for oil contributes to the chronic problems plaguing the continent. Douglas A. Yates shows how the "scramble" by the great powers for African oil has fed corruption and undermined democracy. Yates documents how Africans have refused to remain passive in the face of such developments, forming movements to challenge this new attempt at domination. This book is an urgent challenge to our understanding of Africa, raising questions about the consequences of our reliance on foreign resources. It will be vital reading for all those studying development and global political economy.
Illusions of Location Theory: Consequences for Blue Economy in Africa

It pays more attention to territorial contestations, maritime disputes, vulnerabilities of landlocked states, and expansionist policies as displayed through spatial organizational regimes. These areas of investigation have previously been largely studied from the narrow perspective of ‘location’, unduly focusing on comparative advantages of ‘distance’, while neglecting the influence of ‘forces’ such as technology...
Bureaucratic Democracy
Although everyone agrees on the need to make government work better, few understand public bureaucracy sufficiently well to offer useful suggestions, either theoretical or practical. In fact, some consider bureaucratic efficiency incompatible with democratic government. Douglas Yates places the often competing aims of efficiency and democracy in historical perspective and then presents a unique and systematic theory of the politics of bureaucracy, which he illustrates with examples from recent history and from empirical research. He argues that the United States operates under a system of "bureaucratic democracy," in which governmental decisions increasingly are made in bureaucratic settings...
4 - Oil Conflicts in the Postcolony - Douglas A. Yates
Mbembe outlines a series of characteristics of the postcolony in Africa, including: the commandement, the potentate, the fetish, the aesthetics of vulgarity, and private indirect government. [...] The reason this sad story is dragged up here and now is to reflect on the historical sequence unfolding in Africa, 'the direct link that now exists between, on the one hand, deregulation and the primacy of the market and, on the other, the rise of violence and the creation of private military' (Mbembe 2001:79). [...] He defined the aims of the struggle in terms of democracy and human rights instead of rejecting them as being 'Western' and not appropriate for 'Africa.' He defined the aims of the str...
