The Politics of Revenue Sharing in Resource-Dependent States

Author

  • Jeffrey Herbst

Abstract

In a significant number of developing countries, revenue from the sale of a few natural resources accounts for the vast majority of export earnings and a large share of total government revenue. As a result, the allocation of revenue from natural resources is a critical political question. Tensions over the division of natural resource exports have been repeatedly cited as a central contributor to open conflict in some countries and as the major source of political volatility in many others.
