The Resource Curse: Democracy and the Developing World

If a country attacks precious natural resources such as oil, it may be used as a blessing, but this discovery is often very destructive. Recent social science research shows that resource-rich developing countries often experience political crisis. This paradox is known as a curse of resources (Lam et al., 2002) * which is a notorious political opponent of Dutch illness. In this article, this phenomenon not only hinders the development of non-democratic regime in liberal democracy, but also explains how to actively destroy the value of liberal democracy in developing countries To do.

Indeed, many countries with abundant natural resources have failed to develop and are still in a tragic situation. (Humphreys 2007)

We believe that one of the most interesting trends that may emphasize that more renewable future could lead to an important new form of "curse of resources" - political and economic Development seems to hinder the phenomenon of people with poor right resources. In many resource - rich countries, economic growth is actually slower and political institutions are more likely to be oppressive and undemocratic. In the field of fossil fuels, this curse is generally suitable for large producers of oil and natural gas. In the world of renewable energy heavy, the curse may be irrelevant to the power generation business, and it is likely to generate domestic consumption of solar, wind and geothermal energy of the country, and it is highly profitable export huge It is not an accident Generator of cash flow. Instead, you can see this cursed surface in countries rich in materials necessary for the production of renewable energy.
