Previous studies suggest that natural resource abundance gives rise to governments that are less accountable to the public, states that are oligarchic, and that it leads to the erosion of social capital.

Natural resources, democracy and corruption [PDF]
European Economic Review, 2010 We study how natural resources can feed corruption and how this effect depends on the quality of the democratic institutions.
