The Perspective PodHow are peace and natural resources connected? Part 1In this episode of The Perspective Pod, we discuss how natural resources and conflict are related. Why is it that countries with a lot of natural resources are falling behind to many other countries with less natural resources? And how is it that developed countries, often occurring in the global North, are ruling over the resources extracted in developing countries, often situated in the global South? These questions are discussed with our guest Barbara Magalhaes Teixeira, PhD candidate and lecturer at Lund University.
