“…Ethnicity is an index of ethnic diversity (Easterly & Levine, 1997). The effects of ethnic diversity especially on institutions and natural resources are documented in the literature (Alesina et al, 2016;Fenske & Zurimendi, 2017). Kodila-Tedika (2014) and Kodila-Tedika & Kalonda-Kanyama (2012) have showed that there is a link between governance/institution and IQ.…”

In this paper we study the relationship between communication and "transparency of information" and governance by exploring the link between social media and natural resource governance. Using a cross-country analysis, we document a robust and statistically significant positive relationship between Facebook penetration (a proxy for social media) and natural resource governance. It follows that countries with higher facebook penetration levels enjoy natural resource governance of better quality than countries with low levels of facebook penetration. The positive effect of facebook is robust to controlling for other determinants of institutional quality, additional controls, outliers, inter alia.

“…Ross (2008) explains why women may have lower levels of participation in the labor force and, in turn, less political influence in oil-rich countries. Fenske & Zurimendi (2017) provide evidence on the economic and social effects of oil income on women in Nigeria. Kotsadam & Tolonen (2016) look at the local employment impacts of large-scale mining on men and women in Africa.…”

This article reviews the recent literature on the developmental effects of resource abundance, assessing likely effects and channels with respect to key development outcomes. To date, this area has received less analysis, although it is relevant to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals agenda, as a significant number of the world's poor live in African resourcerich economies. We argue that the presence of a natural resource sector per se does not necessarily translate into worse development outcomes. The natural resource experience varies to a significant extent. Countries with similar levels of resource rents can end up with significantly different achievements in terms of income inequality, poverty, education, and health. The challenge is to explain the different natural resource experiences. A pivotal mechanism behind the developmental effects of the natural resources sector is the type of states and political institutions that resource-abundant economies develop. 4.1 , . • • � -Review in Advance first posted on May 25, 2021.

“…Ethnic and religious identity have played a huge role in national politics since the colonial era, with aggressive ethnicity leading to recurring conflicts and riots across the country. Economic, educational and social horizontal inequalities exist across the ethnic groups and regions (Fenske and Zurimendi, 2017), and further exacerbates inter-group tensions and rivalry (Mustapha, 2009).…”

The literature on equality, diversity and inclusion in organizational and societal contexts has grown in leaps and bounds over the last two decades or so. Our understanding of these phenomena in a global context is however limited, as attention has mostly been paid to the United States and other Western countries. This chapter aims to address this gap by exploring workplace diversity in Nigeria, an under-researched context, characterized by high diversity and low inclusion. Our goal is to understand the factors that shape diversity management operating in such a challenging context, and to analyze the problems and prospects of building a highly diverse and inclusive environment. Design/Methodology/Approach: Using a case study approach, the chapter analyzes four dimensions of equality and diversity (ethnic, religious, age and HIV/AIDS) across four organizations. Findings: This exploratory study highlights the challenges of building a diverse and inclusive workplace in a weak institutional environment. We identify competing logics of managing diversity in Nigeria: institutionalizing ethnic representation vs. building a meritocracy (ethnic); maintaining religious neutrality vs. promoting religious freedom (religion); keeping the elder tradition vs. harnessing the power of youth (age); and managing safety and reputation vs. providing employment security (HIV/AIDS). Originality/Value: This study sheds light on the importance of underlying thoughts on the effectiveness of diversity policies, and argues that managers and organizations need to know how to balance competing logics and manage paradox effectively. It accentuates the importance of the national institutional environment in shaping diversity practices, and provides insights for practitioners and policymakers.
