Book Description:
|
Focuses on the political economy surrounding the detailed decisions that governments make at each step of the value chain for natural resource management. From the perspective of public interest or good governance, many resource-dependent developing countries pursue apparently short-sighted policies in relation to the extraction and capture of resource rents, and to spending and savings from their resource endowments. This work contextualises these micro-level choices and outcomes.
