Authors : Ouchenane Amel .
Abstract
The study discusses the effects of the rentier state structure on the violent conflict in Nigeria in general and the Niger Delta region in particular, the study focuses on four basic elements, namely the theoretical discussions about the relationship between wealth and conflict, especially those that emerged after the end of the 1980s and coincided with new discussions in the field of international conflicts regarding the nature of conflict and its main actors. Furthermore, the study highlights the geopolitics of resources and the intersections of wealth and identity in Nigeria, as we review the ethnic, religious composition of Nigeria and how the rentier state structure has affected the ethnic tension. In the third part of the study, we focus on the levels of authoritarianism and the nature of the ruling elite as an outlet for the rentier state structure, while in the last part the study deals with the governance and distribution of resources and how the rentier state structure produces unstable and fragile economic systems.
