Cutting through grease in the oil sectorHow institutional capacity building and transparency can mitigate the “resource curse” |
With the prices of oil and minerals at historically high levels, resource-rich countries in the developing world are at an important crossroads: will abundant natural resources translate to development for the broader population, or will they be squandered for the benefit of a select few?
