| Title | The Geostrategic Curse in Post-Soviet States: the Cases of Kyrgyzstan and Belarus |
| Summary | This research is dedicated to study the impact of external rents on economic performance and political institutions of a state. Academic literature focuses mainly on traditional types of external rent, like natural resource revenue and foreign aid. This research widens the scope, including original type of external rent source – geostrategic importance. The use of geostrategic importance with the aim to get money from external benefactors, who are interested in it, brings to the same effect as other types of external rent. To understand it this research is based on case study. Upon it, this research states that geostrategic importance, considered as a revenue-gaining source of external rent, affects economic performance of a state negatively. |
