Reviews

Mansoob Murshed's book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive, yet concise, critical review of research into the resource curse. It meticulously explains the often conflicting findings produced by the surge in statistical analysis since the 1990s and argues for embracing additional more flexible approaches such as comparative case studies. -- Richard Auty, Lancaster University
