在这篇文章中,我们调查了自然资源天赋,特别是石油和天然气,以及族裔群体的政治地位是否会增加或减少武装冲突的风险。我们认为,应该扩大对民族群体的政治排斥,而民族群体的垄断权力应该扭转石油和天然气对冲突的影响,因为这些群体可以将收入用于庇护或镇压。我们使用非洲(1990-2010年)高度空间分散的网格数据,并将冲突事件、石油和天然气储藏地点以及当地族裔群体的政治地位相匹配,以检验我们的假设。我们发现,群体地位的差异很重要。虽然种族群体排斥对石油和天然气的放大作用并不强烈,但除了它们增加冲突的构成效应外,我们发现非常明确和有力的证据表明,垄断国家一级政治机构的集团具有条件性效应:石油和天然气在具有强大的全国代表性群体的网格单元中降低了冲突风险,同时增加了暴力冲突爆发的可能性。
In this article we investigate whether natural resource endowments, specifically oil and gas, and the political status of ethnic groups interact to increase or decrease armed conflict risk. We argue that political exclusion of ethnic groups should amplify, while monopoly power of ethnic groups should reverse the effects of oil and gas on conflict, as these groups can use revenues for patronage or repression. We use highly spatially disaggregated grid data from Africa (1990–2010) and match conflict events, oil and gas deposit locations and the political status of local ethnic groups to test our hypotheses. We find that differences in group status matter. While there is no strong amplification effect of ethnic group exclusion on oil and gas, above and beyond their conflict-increasing constituent effects, we find very clear and strong evidence for a conditioning effect for groups with a monopoly over national-level political institutions: Oil and gas in grid cells with powerful, nationally represented groups reduce conflict risk, while otherwise increasing the probability of violent conflict onset.
