• Rethinking the Resource Curse[...].By P. J. Luong&­E. Weinthal­. Annual Review of Political Science.vol. 9. 2006
  The authors argue over the widely accepted contention that an abundance of mineral resources and the influx of external rents generated from these resources during boom periods are to be blamed for the so-called "resource curse". They offer instead a new research agenda for studying the problem of resorce-rich which states that shifts the locus of study away from the "paradox of plenty" to a more appropriate paradox---that the concentration of wealth impoverishes the state whereas the dispersion of wealth enriches the state. This agenda focuses on three interrelated issues: the structure of ownership over mineral resources, the importance of strong institutions, and the relative influence of domestic versus international factors.

• Will Chad's Actions be Sufficient in preventing Resource Curse?
  by D.M. Auty. CEPMLP. 2002 Chad commenced its oil production in 2002 and will be exporting vast quantities of oil by 2004. This generated an influx of capital. Other countries in Chad's position have frequently suffered what has become known as "resource Curse". Rather then stimulating growth, a mineral resource has potential to imbalance countries' economies and inducing stagnation or retarding economic growth. The purpose of this paper is to examine what actions Chad is taking in order to counter act any ill effects from the mineral exploitation and associated wealth generation. The paper concludes that although Chad has spent a great deal of time and effort in acting to avoid resource curse it is by no means clear that it will be able to do so.
