Domain-specific¶
- Paradox of Plenty (Resource Curse)
- Petro-states — the canonical type-cases (Nigeria, Venezuela, Angola, the Gulf), where oil rents can activate the full five-channel diagnosis. Mineral states — the DRC conflict-mineral literature and Sierra Leone diamonds, where point-source rents foreground the conflict-funding channel. Sub-national resource regions — the Niger Delta, Appalachian coal, and Australian and Brazilian state-level mining/oil receipts, the same mechanisms operating below the national level. Single-export agricultural economies — cocoa- or banana-dependent economies as a weaker but recognizable Dutch-disease variant of the curse. Aid dependence — argued (Moss, Pettersson, van de Walle) to reproduce the rentier-state channel specifically, since unearned external revenue severs the same tax-accountability link — a genuine one-channel transfer, not metaphor
This sourceMoss, Pettersson and van de Walle argue the transfer explicitly - 'aid can have many of the same dysfunctional effects as natural resources' - locating it in the same mechanism, that reliance on citizens for revenue rather than on unearned income is what establishes accountability between state and society.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
