The Political Economy of Resource Regulation : An International and Comparative History, 1850-2015

縱觀歷史，自然資源一直是財富和權力的來源，是戰爭與和平的催化劑。在這本創新的書中收集的案例研究探討了思想、利益集團、國際機構和政治制度的交匯點如何在現代世界不同時間和地點孕育出獨特的監管制度。它橫跨七大洲，並著重於發達和發展中經濟體，它提供了獨特的見解，以解釋為什麼一些資源豐富的國家蓬勃發展而另一些國家卻陷入貧困和腐敗。

Industrialist John Paul Getty famously quipped, “The meek shall inherit the earth, but not its mineral rights.” Throughout history, natural resources have been sources of wealth and power and catalysts for war and peace. The case studies gathered in this innovative volume examine how the intersection of ideas, interest groups, international institutions, and political systems gave birth to distinctive regulatory regimes at various times and places in the modern world. Spanning seven continents and focusing on both advanced and developing economies, it offers unique insights into why some resource-rich countries have flourished while others have been mired in poverty and corruption.
