Abstract
[This chapter and the other chapters in this volume explicitly and specifically focus on the political economy of Natural Resource Funds (NRFs) or resource-based Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) in order to better illuminate how the potential negative distributional consequences of resource wealth management (or the resource curse) may make decisions regarding NRFs decidedly political and contentious in ways that other forms of SWFs may not be. In turn, the latter insights are important contributions to the debate over the resource curse and the questions of whether or not, and under what political and economic conditions, NRFs can help in mitigating this “curse.” These insights help us further understand the politics of resource-dependent economies, the political, social, and economic forces that shape resource wealth management, and the continuity and changes of these interactions.]
