ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I engage in two kinds of analysis. Firstly, I engage in the descriptive analysis of resource curse. Secondly, based on the descriptive analysis, I explain my analytic approach to the prescriptive analysis of resource curse. In the descriptive analysis, I discuss resource curse as a typical complex case of global injustice which reflects the absence of global justice within some specific spatio-temporal circumstances and events. I discuss the consequences of resource curse for Africa (the most resource-cursed place in the world), and then discuss the multifaceted nature of the activities that cause resource curse and the aforementioned consequences. In my analytic approach to the prescriptive analysis of resource curse, despite the complexity of resource curse and the multifaceted nature of the activities that cause resource curse, I aver that the different causal roles played by different agents can be identified, and thus causal responsibility can be attributed to the agents. Then I explain that analysing the agents on different levels, the agents are both micro and macro, interactional and institutional, and ultimately individual, collective, corporate, the state and the global institutional order.
