My current research examines the broad relationship between natural resources and economic development. In the context of an export bonanza, some resource-rich states have been shielded from the global crisism, and instead, are experiencing sustained growth. Crucially, this is linked to growth in the Chinese economy, in which its demands for metals, export agriculture, hydrocarbons, and other forms of energy are fuelling this rapid growth for nearly a decade now.

In the context of an export bonanza, some resource-rich states have been shielded from the global crisism, and instead, are experiencing sustained growth. Crucially, this is linked to growth in the Chinese economy, in which its demands for metals, export agriculture, hydrocarbons, and other forms of energy are fuelling this rapid growth for nearly a decade now. In this context, the key question is the extent to which resources can deliver growth and inclusive development for developing countries as well as in minimising the impacts of the crisis to developed resource-rich states. I survey a broad range of case studies of countries with different natural resource endowments, such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Botswana, Norway and Sweden.
