Sažetak
Studies in geopolitics of natural resources deal especially with geopolitical impacts of exploitation and export of oil and gas, as well as the geopolitical impacts of exploitation and export of precious and rare, strategically important minerals and ores. This paper presents researches on the dependence of some countries on the export of natural resources which investigate if this dependence effects the risk of exposure to conflict. It also presents the knowledge about the effect of dependence on revenues from the export of non- renewable energy, i.e. fuel (primarily oil and natural gas) on the development of democracy in individual countries and concludes: the greater the degree of this dependence, the development of democracy is slower. According to the World Bank, the share of fuel in total exports of goods from certain countries is taken as a key indicator, and the countries that were studied, according to the latest available data, had the share greater than 50%. It also includes data on the Human Development Index, the Corruption Perception Index by the Transparency International and information about individual freedom in society according to Freedom House. Comparative analysis was then made that included 30 countries highly dependent on the exploitation and export of non-renewable energy sources, from seven different regions across four continents. Significant similarities, but also noticeable differences were found within each region, and also significant differences between individual regions, given the data on the quality of life index, the index of perception of corruption and the degree of freedom in society, which indicates regional conditionality of quality of management of earnings achieved by exploiting non-renewable energy sources.
