Sommario/riassunto

The majority of developing countries in the Global South are rich in natural resources, but blighted by excruciating poverty and conflicts. Case study rich, this book critically explores the theories of rentier economies and natural resource conflicts, as well as the practical ramifications of rentier politics in the Global South.
