No one has come up with a general theory for why some oil-rich regimes are able to ride out political shocks while other cannot, so Smith (political science, U. of Florida) tries his hand at it. Challenging the classic rentier state/resource curse theory, he argues that the effect of oil rents on institutions varies systematically according to the circumstances of oil's entry as a major export commodity.
