Zusammenfassung

Nachdem zuvor der Existenz natürlicher Ressourcen eine positive Wirkung auf die Entwicklung eines Landes zugeschrieben wurde, prägte Richard Auty (1993, S. 1) Anfang der 1990er Jahre den Begriff Ressourcenfluch bzw. resource curse. Zunächst verwies der Begriff ausschließlich auf die schlechte ökonomische Wachstums- und Entwicklungsbilanz von Ländern mit großen Ressourcenvorkommen. Doch schon bald darauf proklamierten weitere Analysen einen Zusammenhang zwischen einem Reichtum an natürlichen Ressourcen und dem Auftreten von Gewaltkonflikten, insbesondere von Bürgerkriegen (Collier und Hoeffler 1998). Zahlreiche empirische Beispiele, etwa die Bürgerkriege in Angola, Liberia, Kambodscha, Kolumbien oder Sierra Leone, scheinen diese These zu bestätigen.
