Challenges of the Caspian Resource Boom

Meer over het boek

Challenging the traditional notion of the 'resource curse,' this book argues that the negative consequences associated with resource booms are not unavoidable. Instead, it posits that these issues stem from specific policy decisions made by individuals within certain political regimes. By re-examining the relationship between resource wealth and governance, the author offers a nuanced perspective on how strategic choices can influence outcomes in resource-rich countries.
