Abstract

OIL is undoubtedly the most important, and at the same time, the most politicoeconomic commodity in today’s world. As the most important source of economic and political power, OIL has constantly played a significant role for oli’s governments, and has served as a major fuel for their economic power. However, historical experience shows that having exuberant OIL resources and revenue has had no significant link to welfare facilities or to becoming a welfare state; and the governments have always deprived the country from having a democratic state by creating certain rent-seeking networks. In his book entitled “Socio-economic origins of dictatorship and DEMOCRACY”, Barrington Moore writes that he believes that by the introduction of OIL revenues to state economic accounts, the increase in the size of the government and dependence of economic activities -and subsequently social activities-on a rentier system, people’s economic and social activities will be confined, and this is in turn works against the creation of a civil society. Thomas Freedman in 2006 in a review of the concept of “Petropolitics” believes that there is a reverse relation between the increase in OIL prices and revenues of OIL-exporting countries and the speed of democratization of the said countries. The historical experience shows that the increase in OIL revenues has not led to the increase in economic growth and public welfare. It has rather led to the increase in military expenses and the improvement of the quality of arms used in such countries. This especially applies to Persian Gulf littoral states. This article therefore intends to review the impact of OIL revenues, RENTIER STATEs and DEMOCRACY.
