Abstract: Our contribution attempts to address links, from a critical point of view, between recent theoretical approaches to civil wars in developing countries and the resource curse hypothesis. In the first part we discuss the recent theoretical approaches to civil conflicts in developing countries and insist on the rent seeking argument. The second part of the contribution argues that civil conflicts cannot be explained regardless globalisation, and shows that rent seeking economy is a feature of globalisation itself. The last part of the contribution examines sustainable development as a way to escape the "curse of natural resources".
