Abstract
The “oil economy” and its structuring effects are the subjects of the article “Oiling Tyranny? Neoliberalism and Global Governance in Chad” by Siba N. Grovogui and Lori Leonard. The authors examine the agreement, between the state of Chad and the World Bank, to allow the building of a pipeline in Chad to be accompanied by a series of World Bank-orchestrated “good governance” initiatives. The article critically examines the Bank’s “trusteeship” in Chad, drawing on field research to question the monitoring role played by intellectuals and specialist NGOs. The authors map what they refer to as the “juridico-political terms of the oil economy,” which ensure and normalize the encroachment on state sovereignty, land expropriation, and the institutionalization of wealth transfer through resource extraction.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
