人们普遍认为，石油和民主不能混为一谈。有人认为，食利国不需要对其公民征税，从而打破公民与政府之间的关键联系，使民主的前景变得暗淡。在本文中，我使用跨区域数据集研究了食利主义与民主之间的联系。我特别关注食利主义对民主有积极和消极影响的可能性。我没有发现一贯支持这样一种观点，即食利主义对一个国家的民主前景会产生净负面影响。我确实发现，周边地区的民主得分与一个国家自身的民主得分密切相关。
It is widely thought that oil and democracy do not mix. Rentier states, it is argued, need not tax their citizens, thus breaking a crucial link between citizens and their governments, and dimming the prospects for democracy. In this paper I examine the link between rentierism and democracy using a cross-regional dataset. I pay particular attention to the possibility that there are both positive and negative effects of rentierism on democracy. I do not find consistent support for the notion that there is a net negative effect of rentierism on the prospects that a country will be democratic. I do find that democracy scores in the surrounding region are strongly correlated with a country’s own democracy score.
