Why being endowed with oil is not always a boon: the case of Nigeria and Angola


In countries with weak governance institutions, natural resource wealth tends to be a curse instead of a blessing. Where citizens are relatively powerless to hold ruling elites to account, resource wealth undermines development prospects. On the contrary, where citizens are able to exert constraints on executive power, resource wealth can generate development that benefits ordinary citizens.
Development scholar Richard Auty first coined the term ‘resource curse’ in the early 1990s. He used the phrase to describe the puzzling phenomenon of resource wealthy countries failing to industrialise. Manifestations of the ‘curse’ now range from widespread corruption to civil war to deepening authoritarian rule. ....

Global leadership on democracy issues was absent from the United States while Donald Trump was president. While some U.S. democracy programming continu ....

The Onslaught against Congress Was an Attack on Democracy, but It Was Not a Coup – Watching America


Translated from Danish by Benedicte Thymann Nielsen. Edited by Helaine Schweitzer.
Posted on January 22, 2021.
Wednesday’s attack on Congress was not an attempted coup in the pure political sense. The threat to democracy does not come from within the state. Instead, it comes from Donald Trump, his fanatic supporters and a Republican Party that is increasingly authoritarian. The question now is whether in the wake of the attack, Republicans will change their strategy, safeguard democracy and tell the truth.

A mob, egged on by a presidential speech earlier in the day, breached the U.S. Capitol, spun in the president of the Senate’s chair, and sent members of Congress running for safety, some in gas masks. Its goal was to stop a peaceful transition of power by upending the certification of election results. These acts were hardly spontaneous, but rather emerged from a series of rallies of white supremacists, conspir ....
