Produktbeschreibung
Natural resource abundance is not necessarily a blessing for countries but can bring with it manifold challenges, which potentially lead to conflict, the absence of democracy and eventually, economic decline.

Confronted with the global financial crisis, however, the model s inherent structural vulnerability is exposed.
