"Like an abandoned son": Clientelism, assistentialism, and state failure in Amazon oil benefit sharing policies

Danilo Borja and Conny Davidsen

Resources Policy, 2025, vol. 101, issue C

Abstract: Local benefit sharing is a highly relevant and unresolved topic in natural resources policy and research. This study examines local de facto outcomes of Ecuador's 2010 hydrocarbon policy reform in which the state legally assumed welfare responsibilities of communities affected by oil drilling, a role that oil companies had prior occupied in the country's emerging oil boom.
