USC Security & Political Economy Lab Investigated the causal pathways that supposedly link natural resources, specifically hydrocarbons, to the onset, duration, and intensity of civil conflict. Conducted a replication study of Michael Ross’ (2004) seminal paper, critically assessing his research design, investigating for observables and coding for hypothesized mechanisms, analyzing these hypothesized pathways in terms of the limits they pose on explaining the causal chains (focus on Algeria’s civil conflict in the 1990s).
Research Synthesis:
USC Spatial Sciences Institute Synthesized research on the state of global material flows, governance, economies, socio-economic life cycle assessments, extended producer responsibility, government procurement, circular economy, sector initiatives and product/packaging design for Dr. Robert Vos’ upcoming book on the 12th SDG.
