Crude Democracy: Natural Resource Wealth and Political Regimes - Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics
Dunning, Thad (Assistant Professor, Yale University, Connecticut)
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. Dunning builds and tests a theory that explains political variation across resource-rich states.
