Description

Explore the complex reality of the resource curse with this essential text from Routledge. While scientific and policy communities have studied why mineral-rich economies often struggle with development, the problem remains a significant global issue. This book addresses why volatile mineral prices, bad governance, and conflict continue to hinder progress despite decades of research. This volume provides a deep look into the reasons behind these development failures. It combines original research from leading contributors in the field with a critical look at existing knowledge. Readers will gain a better understanding of the economic conditions that turn mineral wealth into a Catch 22 for many nations. It is a vital resource for those studying economics, policy, and global development challenges.
