Managing resource-related conflict

Despite a well-documented link between resource production and political instability, little is known about what forms of resource management can disrupt the resource-conflict link and contribute to stability. The dataset “Managing resource-related conflict” presents event-based data on postconflict resource management after countries have experienced armed conflict related to lootable resource extraction from 1945-2013. The dataset contains four resource management strategies (exclusionary, shared, transformative, paternalistic) based on two dimensions (inclusion in resource governance, distribution of costs and benefits). The data is published as supplement to the article “Managing resource-related conflict: A framework of lootable resource management and post conflict stabilization” in the Journal of Conflict Resolution.
