a few countries were considered to be RRLAs, but that did not necessarily indicate that they knew how to manage their resources. To add, many of these countries endured domestic or international conflict during this time, so even if they knew how to manage these things, circumstances could be prove different when undergoing a crisis. And last, but not least on this matter, possessing these tools does not necessarily place a country in good standing to compete economically/socially with countries that experience great wealth from exports/resources such as oil which they may not have.
My third and final note is that each country should be treated with a case-by-case approach. Many countries within my study responded differently with the presence or absence of conflict, resources, transitions etc., which was later expressed within their economic/social development. And because they counter each matter differently, an approach that anticipates to be the remedy for all countries in these regions for example democracy or my approach of an equipped quasi-democracy would not likely
be the answer for at least some of them.
