Oxford Policy Management’s strong reputation for executing wide scale household surveys in sub-Saharan Africa and in South Asia is increasingly being applied to OPM’s extractive industries work, where policy discussions surrounding natural resource exploitation all too often take place using very ‘macro’ indicators for success – such as exploring how governments can secure the largest segment possible of tax revenues. OPM recently saw an opportunity to merge these two areas of expertise to…See More
Kari Lipschutz left a comment for Ahmed Finoh"Thank you for your note, Finoh. In fact, I plan on doing something very similar to what you suggest in your comment. I will certainly be using political economy analysis as a primary tool in my work. Further, I am considering a few case studies…"

Kari:
I wish you can re-orient your research study, in consultation with your faculty advisor, to consider the natural resource curse as a product of the political economy. The legal perspective for why in Africa, natural resources are a curse is a function of political economy while the social pesrpective is an after-the-fact issue. Consider the cases of Nigeria and Norway or Botswana (diamonds) and Sierra Leone.
Good luck in your studies.
