Abstract: Natural resource abundance (and scarcity) has led to violence and instability, with an estimated 40-60% of civil wars after the Second World War having been triggered, funded or sustained by natural resources. Management of natural resources is therefore a critical factor in mitigating conflict risk and increasing resilience. The Asia-Pacific Countries with Special Needs Development Report 2018, which examines the multidimensional links between peace and development, highlights that better governance and effective fiscal management, particularly in the context of transparency and accountability in resource management, can result in an upward spiral of durable peace and sustainable development.
