Cross-scalar Dynamics of the Resource Curse: Constraints on Local Participation in the Bolivian Gas Sector
探讨资源诅咒的政治经济动态如何在地方、国家和国际尺度上相互关联且矛盾，并以玻利维亚天然气治理为例，揭示这些动态如何限制地方参与的空间。
Contributing to debate on the contextual underpinnings and varieties of the resource curse, this article points to how political and economic dynamics of resource endowments operate in interrelated but potentially contradictory ways across spatial scales. Resource endowments insert a complex set of incentives and interests into the political arena in ways that both enable and constrain actors at different scales. Using a case study of gas governance in Bolivia, the article illustrates the interrelation of these dynamics across local, national and international scales, and in particular how they circumscribe the space for local participation.
