Through a sharp, unconventional Marvel superhero movie, global audiences were exposed to fundamental resource governance themes this year. Fictional African country Wakanda’s management and control of vibranium, a miraculous metal with seemingly infinite applications, was a plot point of the global smash film Black Panther as well as the subject of two of the Natural Resource Governance Institute’s most-read blog posts this year.

Other most-read posts ranged widely, focusing on different NRGI priority countries and topics.

Readers enjoyed an introduction to NRGI’s interactive, online resource governance simulation, Petronia; celebrated a contract transparency milestone from one of the largest oil and gas companies in the world; and reacted strongly to timely analysis of the Philippines mining sector and a new petroleum register in Ghana. They were interested in NRGI expert analysis of what makes an accountable state-owned enterprise, which will be a major area of focus for the organization in 2019.

As the year draws to a close, revisit the most-read NRGI blog posts of 2018:
