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.
