Plundered Nations?: Successes and Failures in Natural Resource Extraction

by Tony J. Venables and Paul Collier

Book Overview

This book consists of eight case studies investigating the political economy of the decision chain involved in natural resource extraction in resource-rich countries, where plunder rather than prosperity has become the norm. Some case studies reveal successes, while others show the decision chain to have failed disastrously.
