About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Cambridge University Press, 2010 Cambridge Univ Press, New York. 2010. Softcover/Trade wraps. First published 2010. Book Condition: Near Fine; rubbing to wraps and bumping on front tips. Pictorial wraps are not folded or bent, spine is not cracked or broken. 425 pp. The authors have made a valuable contribution to the resource curse literature. Their book's focus on the significance of ownership structure in determining whether resource abundance is a boom or a curse is novel, well argued, and empirically supported by a nice natural experiment. In addition, the book provides an accessible review of the oil and gas sector in the energy-rich Soviet successor states over the two decades since independence. A very presentable and clean copy.
