This book challenges the conventional wisdom that natural resource
wealth promotes autocracy. Oil and other forms of mineral wealth
can promote both authoritarianism and democracy, the book argues,
but they do so through different mechanisms; an understanding of
these different mechanisms can help elucidate when either the
authoritarian or democratic effects of resource wealth will be
relatively strong. Exploiting game-theoretic tools and statistical
modeling as well as detailed country case studies and drawing on
fieldwork in Latin America and Africa, this book builds and tests a
theory that explains political variation across resource-rich
states. It will be read by scholars studying the political effects
of natural resource wealth in many regions, as well as by those
interested in the emergence and persistence of democratic regimes.
