“…The literature contains references to "gatekeepers" or their equivalents in centralized and unaccountable systems in very different times and places, be it King Mohammad VI's Morocco (Denoeux 2000), Suharto's Indonesia, 73 Peter the Great's Russia (Zitser 2005), or Louis XIV's France (Kettering 1988). Although the only detailed accounts I have found focus on rural India (Reddy and Haragopal 1985;Oldenburg 1987;Jeffrey 2000), paper pushers very likely exist in many places.…”

Theories about the politics and economics of resource-rich or “rentier” states have been around for almost four decades now (Mahdavy 1970; Beblawi 1987; Chaudhry 1997; Humphreys et al. 2007). Political scientists and economists have argued that rents have a negative impact on levels of democracy (Luciani 1987; Ross 2001), on the quality of institutions (Chaudhry 1997; Isham et al. 2005), and on economic growth (Sachs and Warner 2001). Although much debate has been conducted over these macro-correlations, far less attention has been devoted to the causal mechanisms behind them. There is still no unified theory of rentier states, and the micro-foundations of rentier systems in particular have gone largely unexplored.
