| description |
Recent research undertaken by the Bank
and others, suggest that developing countries face
substantially higher risks of violent conflict, and poor
governance if highly dependent on primary commodities.
Revenues from the legal, or illegal exploitation of natural
resources have financed devastating conflicts in large
numbers of countries across regions. When a conflict erupts,
it not only sweeps away decades of painstaking development
efforts, but creates costs and consequences-economic,
social, political, regional-that live on for decades. The
outbreak of violent domestic conflict amounts to a
spectacular failure of development-in essence, development
in reverse. Even where countries initially manage to avoid
violent conflict, large rents from natural resources can
weaken state structures, and make governments less
accountable, often leading to the emergence of secessionist
rebellions, and all-out civil war. Although natural
resources are never the sole source of conflict, and do not
make conflict inevitable, the presence of abundant primary
commodities, especially in low-income countries, exacerbates
the risks of conflict and, if conflict does break out, tends
to prolong it and makes it harder to resolve. As the
Governance of Natural Resources Project (a research project)
took shape, the discussion moved toward practical approaches
and policies that could be adopted by the international
community. This book presents the papers commissioned under
the Governance of Natural Resources Project, offering a rich
array of approaches and suggestions that are feeding into
the international policy debate, and hopefully lead, over
time to concerted international action, to help developing
countries better manage their resource wealth, and turn this
wealth into a driver of development rather than of conflict. |
