许多“冲突后”国家在充分利用其自然资源财富进行重建和发展方面面临困难。考虑到这些国家的需求以及初级部门“管理不善”破坏向和平过渡的风险，这是一个重大问题。本文汇集了有关“不平等-不信任-腐败”陷阱以及自然资源与腐败之间关系的争论，认为某些资源部门可能更有可能助长不平等，从而加剧腐败和不信任，而其他部门则不太可能这样做。回顾论点和经验证据，我指出了转型背景、利益相关者激励和资源部门特征的相对重要性，并提出了如何更好地理解与建立信任和和解进程相关的与资源相关的腐败。
Many ‘post-conflict’ countries face difficulties in reaping the full benefits of their natural resource wealth for reconstruction and development purposes. This is a major issue given these countries’ needs and the risk of seeing ‘mismanaged’ primary sectors undermine a transition to peace. Bringing together debates about the ‘inequality-mistrust-corruption’ trap and relationships between natural resources and corruption, this paper suggest that some resource sectors may be more likely to foster inequalities, and thereby increase corruption and distrust, while others are less likely to do so. Reviewing arguments and empirical evidence, I point to the relative importance of transition contexts, stakeholder incentives and resource sector characteristics, and suggest how resource-related corruption may be better understood in relation to trust-building and reconciliation processes.
