Thomas, M.A.2014-07-292014-07-292004-09-01https://hdl.handle.net/10986/19059This paper examines the links between governance and the Extractive Industries sector, and considers the implications of those links for the work of the World Bank. This evaluation takes place on the heels of important complementary World Bank initiatives, upon which it draws. The Bank has pioneered a research initiative into the economics of civil war crime and violence, which considered inter alia the effects of natural resource endowments. A task force has examined the special problems of Low Income Countries Under Stress. There is overlap between this group of countries and the group of resource-rich Bank borrowers. And the Bank has done substantial research linking governance to development outcomes.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITYAGGREGATING GOVERNANCE INDICATORSAID DEPENDENCEAID EFFECTIVENESSALLOCATION OF RESOURCESAUDITSAUTHORITARIANISMBEST PRACTICEBRIBEBUDGET CONSTRAINTSBUDGET · TRANSPARENCYBUREAUCRACYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCITIZENSCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL WARCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY GOVERNANCECOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCONFIDENCECONFLICT OF INTERESTCONFLICTS OF INTERESTCONSTITUENCYCONTROLLING CORRUPTIONCORRUPTCORRUPTIONCORRUPTION CONTROLCORRUPTION INDICATORCORRUPTION ISSUESCRIMEDECISION MAKINGDECISION MAKING PROCESSESDECISION-MAKINGDECISION-MAKING PROCESSESDEMOCRACYDEMONSTRATION EFFECTSDIRECT INVESTMENTDISCOUNT RATESECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC EFFECTSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC POLICIESECONOMICSECONOMISTSEFFECTIVE USEEMPIRICAL ANALYSISEMPLOYMENTENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL COSTSENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONSENVIRONMENTSEXPENDITURESEXPLOITATIONFACTORINGFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MARKETSFISCAL POLICYFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTORSGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNANCE CHALLENGESGOVERNANCE CONSTRAINTSGOVERNANCE ENVIRONMENTGOVERNANCE INDICATORSGOVERNANCE ISSUESGOVERNANCE PROBLEMSGOVERNANCE QUALITYGOVERNANCE REFORMSGOVERNANCE RESEARCHGOVERNANCE RESEARCH INDICATORGOVERNANCE RESEARCH INDICATORSGOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATIONGOVERNMENT EFFECTIVENESSGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSGOVERNMENT OWNERSHIPGOVERNMENT REVENUEGOVERNMENT REVENUESGROWTH RATEHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINFORMAL SECTORINITIATIVEINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINSTITUTIONAL QUALITYINSTITUTIONAL REFORMINSTITUTIONAL REFORMSINSURANCEINTEGRITYINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MARKETSLAWSLEGISLATIONLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL COMMUNITYLOCAL LAWSLOW INCOME COUNTRIESLOWER INCOME COUNTRIESMETALSMINESMINISTERNATIONSNATURAL RESOURCESOILOIL SECTORPATRONAGEPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL INTERFERENCEPOLITICAL PARTICIPATIONPOLITICAL POWERPOLITICAL RISKPOLITICAL STABILITYPOLLUTIONPOOR GOVERNANCEPOOR MANAGEMENTPOOR PERFORMANCEPRESENT VALUEPRIME MINISTERPRIVATE GOODSPRIVATIZATIONPRIVATIZATION OF STATEPROCUREMENTPRODUCTIVITYPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITYPUBLIC AFFAIRSPUBLIC CONTRACTSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SPENDINGREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY QUALITYREHABILITATIONRENEWABLE RESOURCESRESOURCE CURSERESOURCE GENERATIONRESOURCE MOBILIZATIONREVENUE COLLECTIONRISK FACTORSRISK MANAGEMENTRULE OF LAWSOCIAL SERVICESSOFT BUDGET CONSTRAINTSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE GROWTHSYSTEMIC CORRUPTIONTAX REGULATIONSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONTRANSPARENCYVESTED INTERESTSVIOLENCEWORLD POLITICS10.1596/19059
