      abstract = {This edited volume explores the link between natural  resources and civil conflict, focusing especially on  protest and violence in the context of mining and the  extraction of minerals. The primary goal of the book is to  analyze how the conflict-inducing effect of natural  resources is mediated by inequality and grievances. Given  the topicality of the current boom in mining, the main  empirical focus is on non-fuel minerals. The volume is  structured in four parts. Part I sets the stage of the  volume in two chapters. Part II contains large-N studies of  fuel and non-fuel resources and their effect on conflict.  Based on qualitative methods, Part III presents case  studies focusing on Zambia, India, Guatemala and Burkina  Faso, which investigate the mechanisms between the  extraction of natural resources and violent conflict.  Finally, Part IV provides a summary of the previous  analyses. Hamid E. Ali is Associate Professor of Economics  and Public Policy, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies,  Qatar, and the author of Darfur Political Economy: A Quest  for Development (2014), nd co-author with Christos Kollias  of Defense Spending, Natural Resources, and Conflict  (2017). He is also the author and co-author of articles in  many scholarly journals. Lars-Erik Cederman is Professor of  International Conflict Research at ETH Zurich, Switzerland,  and the author of Emergent Actors in World Politics: How  States and Nations Develop and Dissolve (1997) and  co-author of Inequality, Grievances and Civil War (2013),  as well as numerous articles in scientific journals.},
