Topic: The “resource curse” has become a staple of development literature over the past decade and an half. But to what extent is resource dependence masking a more important problem of uncertain revenue streams? How does resource dependence affect long-term economic development? The likelihood of intra-state and secessionist wars? Does resource dependence undermine democratic development? 
How does the ‘lootability’ of resources affect the likelihood of conflict? Does oil wealth strengthen or weaken state institutions?***********************************************************************************Instructions: Write an 1800 words essay. Employ standard essay form: clear, logical, and spare presentation; consistent and professional form. Begin your essay with complete bibliographic data on the sources to which you referred in writing it. The essay should make clear how the sources contributed to your arguments. Sources must include at least three required readings and can but not required to – include outside sources (books, professional journals, respected dailies or weeklies). Include word count. **************************I hope you to include all of these*************** -> In-text citations, works cited (format attached, follow the format I attached), words 1.5 spaced, 1800 words maximum, words count (words count should not be counted with in-text citations and works cited), three required readings, and lectures, outside sources. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************However, the most important thing you have to follow is the required readings, lectures, and outside sources. First, for the required readings, I attached the 9 numbers of readings in powerpoint format. You SHOULD USE AT LEAST 3 required readings from the readings that I attached but I hope you use it more than 3… Second, you have to use the three lectures I attached here which are Microsoft World format (The Bottom Billion, Financial Crisis-2, and Resource Curse). You REALLY REALLY REALLYx10000000 HAVE TO USE these three lectures to write an essay AS MANY AS YOU CAN. My professor really likes those who use his lectures as many times as possible. Third, For the outside sources, I hope you avoid using the outside sources if it is possible. My professor dislikes those who use outside sources but if you have to use it,,,, then please…. do not use many times. Overall, I hope you use only the lectures and the readings I uploaded here to you in an essay. That would be an excellent essay I will be given. It is the half of the grades I will be receiving as in final grade from this essay. I hope you do well… If you do not know how to cite the readings in works cited, let me know… but you should know…as I attached the format here! Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
