Natural resource abundance is not necessarily a blessing for countries but can bring with it manifold challenges, which potentially lead to conflict, the absence of democracy and eventually, economic decline. This phenomenon is known as the "resource curse" and it is argued that oil abundance in particular leads to the creation of rentier states. How countries can overcome macroeconomic problems and diversify their economies away from resource dependency is therefore an important question. In this book Jana Kleibert argues that the United Arab Emirates, and specifically Dubai, have taken important steps towards building service-based economies. Investments into infrastructure and real estate have been made to create a hub for global trade, tourism and finance. Confronted with the global financial crisis, however, the model's inherent structural vulnerability is exposed.

Countries that are rich in petroleum have less democracy, less economic stability, and more frequent civil wars than countries without oil. What explains this oil curse? And can it be fixed? In this groundbreaking analysis, Michael L. Ross looks at how developing nations are shaped by their mineral wealth--and how they can turn oil from a curse into a blessing. Ross traces the oil curse to the upheaval of the 1970s, when oil prices soared and governments across the developing world seized control of their countries' oil industries. Before nationalization, the oil-rich countries looked much like the rest of the world; today, they are 50 percent more likely to be ruled by autocrats--and twice as likely to descend into civil war--than countries without oil. The Oil Curse shows why oil wealth typically creates less economic growth than it should; why it produces jobs for men but not women; and why it creates more problems in poor states than in rich ones. It also warns that the global thirst for petroleum is causing companies to drill in increasingly poor nations, which could further spread the oil curse. This landmark book explains why good geology often leads to bad governance, and how this can be changed.

It is widely believed that natural mineral resources are desirable. However there is growing evidence that this may not always be the case. Indeed, it seems that natural assets can distort the economy to such a degree that the benefit actually becomes a curse. In Sustaining Development in Mineral Economies, Richard Auty highlights these drawbacks and the devastating effect they can have on developing economies. With reference to six ore-exporters (viz. Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Jamaica, Zambia and Papua New Guinea) he outlines how things can go badly wrong. He particularly stresses the need to avoid `Dutch Disease' whereby competitiveness is drained out of the agriculture and manufacturing sectors so that in the long term growth falters.

This book asks whether a modern, efficient economy can be rendered democratically accountable, and, if so, what strategic changes might be required to regulate the market- based interaction of economic agents. The contributors bring contemporary microeconomic theory to bear in an attempt to find a progressive replacement to traditional state socialism. Various approaches to the study of economic interaction are considered in an attempt to understand the relationship between power and efficiency in market economies.

Oil to Cash explores one option to help countries with new oil revenue avoid the so-called resource curse: just give the money directly to citizens. A universal, transparent, and regular cash transfer would not only provide a concrete benefit to regular people, but would also create powerful incentives for citizens to hold their government accountable. Oil to Cash details how and where this idea could work and how policymakers can learn from the experiences with cash transfers in places like Mexico, Mongolia, and Alaska.

The discovery of a new valuable mineral deposit in a country does not always lead to economic growth or development in a nation. There are many examples of countries with abundant resources whose economic and social situations have not improved, and in many cases have worsened, because of their bountiful mineral resources. The resource curse describes the paradoxical fact that countries with an abundance of natural resources, specifically non-renewable resources like minerals and fuels, tend to have less economic growth and worse development outcomes than countries with fewer natural resources. The degree of the phenomenons effects varies from country to country. There are many causes and symptoms of the resource curse evident in the economics literature, but there is no clear guidance on how a country can avert its resource curse. This study aims to identify the factors that hinder resource-rich countries attempts to achieve sustainable development and economic growth. The relative importance of the factors is assessed, and a seven-point strategy is formulated to help resource-rich countries reduce the adverse effects of the resource curse. The study uses a qualitative-phenomenological methodology. Fifteen resource-rich countries, which either faced the phenomenon in the past, are still facing it, or never experienced it, were selected for the study population. Subsequently, the study focuses primarily on the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), one of the wealthiest in terms of resource endowment, but also the most affected by the resource curse within the study population. A comprehensive set of variables were selected to compare the DRCs mining sector to that of Australia, Botswana, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Ghana, India, Ivory Coast, Namibia, Peru, South Africa, United States of America, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. This study finds that there are seven specific factors that enable a country to reduce adverse economic and social outcomes as a result of its vast mineral resources. The seven factors are the following: political will, competitive legislation and the enforcement thereof, strong institutions with targeted goals, economic discipline to achieve visions and goals, the diversification of the economy, the application of good governance practices, and motivation to learn from other countries experiences. By focusing on these determinants, mineral-rich countries can mitigate the effects of the resource curse, and as a result, they can experience the economic growth and sustainable development that should follow from their mineral assets.
