“…Similarly, illegal logging is often hidden, and those dependent on illegal trade have actively resisted efforts to improve data sensing and mapping in forests (Kuemmerle et al, 2009). Regarding the oil and natural gas industries, Hasan (2019) note that some nations actually hide oil‐related production data from the public and do not disclose oil contract information for an extended period. This lack of transparency makes decision‐making related to using oil resources difficult.…”

“…In the supply chain literature, these topics have not been specifically addressed; but the risk of bribery and corruption has been addressed by Kim and Wagner (2021), who show stock market prices react more negatively to the risk of upstream corruption with suppliers. Supply chain researchers could conduct exploratory and conceptual research to discover (a) how food, timber, and renewable natural resources might be the most vulnerable to illicit behavior (Reardon et al, 2019) or (b) if oil, metals, and other nonrenewable resources lend themselves to forms of corruption (Argent et al, 2021;Hasan, 2019). This research could be informed by such theories as the theory of political economy (Jevons, 1879).…”

This article reviews extant multidisciplinary literature to uncover existing themes and directions in the knowledge of the overlap between natural resource scarcity and illicit supply chain activity. In doing so, the authors present a novel review of this nascent, complex, and multidisciplinary research area. This review has uncovered 127 articles that have not been synthesized or organized in a meaningful way with the supply chain literature. It extracts insights and develops a comprehensive process framework encompassing the following: (a) antecedents associated with natural resource extraction, which foments the opportunity for illicit activity to thrive; (b) resulting economic, social, and environmental outcomes from illicit activity as it relates to natural resource extraction; and (c) potential moderating processes, which either enable or inhibit illicit activity to occur, including firm-level tactics that businesses can employ to counteract illicit activity throughout the supply chain and to promote sustainable long-term operations. An extensive agenda is presented suggesting future research paths, methodologies, theories, and potential contributions.

Oil reserves hold importance not just in the realm of economic profit, but also wield significant influence in political matters throughout contemporary history (Yergin, 2011). There are numerous connections between domestic oil production and international policy actions (Ashford, 2022). In fragile states, entities resembling state organizations can participate in local oil extraction through the exercise of their territorial rights. Additionally, these structures can have an impact on political dynamics at both the regional and global levels. This article delves into the link between oil and the acknowledgment of statehood in Iraqi Kurdistan. It contends that the presence of oil has significantly contributed to the recognition of Kurdish statehood by providing a source of income and augmenting its economic and political prowess. The study analyzes the history of the oil industry in Iraqi Kurdistan and its impact on the region's political and economic development. It also explores the political dynamics between Iraqi Kurdistan and the central government in Baghdad, along with the role of international actors in the recognition of Kurdish statehood. This paper concentrates on the positive outcomes of having rich natural resources and being recognized as a de facto state. Additionally, the article explains how Iraqi Kurdistan legitimizes its recognition as a de facto state by signing agreements with large oil companies since 2005 on its own territory. The study employs Caspersen's “unrecognized state” definition and Krasner's concept of sovereignty, along with Pegg's definition of de facto states, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Iraqi Kurdistan's international position. For this study, it used the interviews that were conducted in 2017 in the Iraqi Kurdistan region.

“…This legalized the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) as an autonomous federal region, which included a high degree of international sovereignty as well as its own parliament, armed forces, and government (O'Driscoll and Baser 2019). An oil and gas law was enacted by the KRG in 2007, based on Articles 111 and 112 in the Iraqi constitution (Hasan 2019). On this basis, the KRG signed more than sixty oil and gas contracts with international oil companies (IOCs).…”

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND THE PARADOXES OF STATE CAPITALISM: Ethnographies of Norwegian Energy and Extraction Businesses Abroad

Through a series of case studies in diverse regions of the world, this book explores how transnational Norwegian energy and extractive industries handle corporate social responsibility (CSR) when operating abroad in places such as China, Brazil, and Turkey. With significant state ownership and embeddedness in the Nordic societal model, Norwegian capitalism is often represented as “benign” or ethical. By tracing CSR policy and practice—from headquarters to operations—this volume critically explores the workings of Norwegian corporate capitalism and its engagement with key issues of responsibility, accountability, and sustainability.
