The Developmental Challenges of Mining and Oil: Lessons from Africa and Latin America

by Jose Carlos Orihuela, Maritza Paredes, Stefania Battistelli, et al.

The authors explain why the discovery and development of natural resources is commonly associated with unstable and unequal development, and frequently with violence. They demonstrate the need for policies and institutions by reflecting on both successes and failures in case studies on Botswana, Nigeria and Niger as well as Bolivia, Chile and Peru.
