Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In this paper we address a number of arguments tying oil wealth to democracy, including those stemming from both the “social requisites” and historical legacy traditions in democracy studies. The unique set of cases that we address here sheds valuable, and in some cases disconfirming,light on many of those theoretical conclusions. In the second section, we develop a set of propositions underlining the conditions under which democracy is likely to emerge, and to survive, in oil-exporting countries. In the third and fourth sections, we compare two cases which experienced democratic transitions but failed to consolidate (Congo and Nigeria) to three cases in which transitions led to democratic consolidation (Ecuador, Trinidad, and Venezuela), respectively. Finally, we address the problems that the latter three countries have faced since 1990 and point to some ways in which oil both helped to cement democratic politics and to set the stage for these political conflicts.
