The effort to promote transparency and good governance in resource-rich countries has gained signifi cant momentum over the last decade and made substantial progress. At the same time, the degree to which this agenda fi nds more than rhetorical support from political elites is questionable. It is equally unclear whether civil society, the media, and parliaments in developing countries are suffi ciently well informed to take full advantage Welcome of enhanced transparency to secure more effective oversight. The persistent disconnect between the governance research community and practitioners also hinders innovation in specifi c contexts. In light of this, the School of Public Policy (SPP) at Central European University and the Governance Institute (NRGI) designed this course to equip you—a pool of exceptional individuals from government, civil society, parliaments, media, international development agencies, and the private sector, as well as academics, researchers, and analysts—with the knowledge and tools necessary to help reverse the “.”

Now in its seventh year, the course will examine the political economy of governance in resource-rich states and explore how it impacts domestic policy debates and practice. The course will also offer practical lessons for policy improvement based on best practices from around the globe as well as opportunities for exchanges among participants. Using the Natural Resource Charter as a framework and focusing on rigorous analysis and advanced techniques, the course is designed for almost 60 participants who are committed to enhancing their knowledge and skills to play a more prominent role in developing, monitoring, and/or evaluating the and petroleum sectors in specifi c countries or globally.

WE WISH YOU AN EXCITING TIME IN BUDAPEST!

3 All participants will attend sessions on the political economy of policymaking that provide a basic overview of all policy issues. Thereafter, they will be asked to choose one of two paths: Path 1: Getting a good deal: designing and evaluating fi scal regimes Path 2: Distributing, managing, and spending resource revenues.

The Political Economy of Policymaking in Resource-Rich States The Course

All course participants will explore different political economy trajectories of domestic governance in resource-rich states. The main goal is to introduce analytical tools of political economy to enhance understanding of the crucial impact of politics and power on policy outcomes. Participants will be exposed to case studies and interactive exercises and will assess how political dynamics shape policy in countries relevant to their work. Along with identifying risks—such as the political inconvenience of saving or principal-agent problems associated with national oil companies—the course will suggest tools that actors can use to better understand their roles within the political and mitigate obstacles to reform. Experts will also discuss the defi cits in good governance and transparency that pervade many resource-rich countries, explore their implications, and provide an update on global efforts (such as various transparency initiatives) to remedy the defi cits.

Path 1: Getting a Good Deal: Designing and Evaluating Fiscal Regimes

A properly designed fi scal regime (i.e., the range of tax, royalty, and other revenue collection tools used by governments) can attract investments and secure substantial that can be used to fund development. However, the challenges to good fi scal regime design can be formidable and the choice of a fi scal regime involves signifi cant trade-offs. There is no “one-size-fi ts-all” model. Understanding the trade-offs and effectively evaluating policy choices is therefore an essential skill, particularly as a 4 signifi cant drop in commodity prices is triggering a wave of tax reforms. There will be a plenary session on designing fi scal regimes and resource contracts so that all participants can explore the economic theory underpinning the most commonly used fi scal tools in a government’s arsenal. Course participants will gain a better understanding of the key features of these tools, their similarities and differences, and the challenges of administering taxes and effectively collecting revenues. Participants who choose Path 1 will be able to dive deeper into these issues and develop key practical and analytical skills. Their time will The Course be evenly divided between classroom lecture and group work. In guided workshop sessions, Path 1 participants will learn to read and use Excel based models to evaluate and compare different fi scal regimes, make investment decisions, forecast revenue streams, and assess risks of revenue leakages. Participants will also learn how to use standardized models developed by NRGI to inform policy analysis and decision making through a mock negotiation exercise. Courses and exercises covered in Path 1 will include licensing and allocation of rights and links to cost-benefi t analyses, institutional capacity, revenue management, state-owned companies, and political economy considerations, providing participants with a nuanced and practical understanding of tax policy in resource-rich countries.

5 Path 2: Distributing, Managing, and Spending Resource Revenues

In resource-rich countries, oil, gas, and revenues offer opportunities to accelerate economic development and reduce poverty. At the same time, their unpredictability, volatility, and size relative to the rest of the economy, as well as their fi nite nature, can create perverse incentives, complicating economic management and in some

The Course cases actually impeding development. Common challenges include overdependence on a single source of revenue, over-borrowing followed by debt crises, poor public investment, destabilizing “boom-and-bust” cycles, redirection of funds to special interests, patronage, nepotism, and confl ict between national and subnational authorities. Participants in Path 2 will explore how to analyze and address these problems. Sessions will examine the causes of weak development outcomes in resource-rich environments and elaborate on some available tools to improve the distribution, management, and use of oil, gas, and mineral revenues. These tools include: rules describing revenue distribution to the national budget, sovereign wealth funds, sub-national jurisdictions, and state-owned companies; rules controlling the amount of resource revenues that enter the domestic economy; public accountability mechanisms for revenue and expenditure management; and formulation and implementation of national and sub-national development plans. Path 2 participants will also examine how national and local economies can benefi t from the presence of extractive companies through implementation of “local content” policies and shared-use infrastructure. While theory will be covered, sessions will emphasize real-world policy options and case studies. They will prepare course participants to analyze revenue distribution and management systems and provide advice to policymakers on specifi c saving and spending choices.

6 METHODOLOGY

The course uses the Natural Resource Charter as its primary intellectual framework. The charter is a set of economic principles for governments and societies on how to best manage the opportunities created by natural resources to promote development. It is not a blueprint for the policies and institutions countries must build, but instead provides the ingredients successful countries have used to build such institutions: www.naturalresourcecharter.org The Course

The course will include interactive lectures, group discussions, and practical skill-building workshops or policy labs, as well as guest presentations by leading experts. The course includes the following components:  General concepts (theory and practice); Comparative analysis of current situations (globally); Case studies; Policy labs to analyze case studies and develop practical analytical skills; Plenary discussions and conclusions; Exercises in country- and mixed-teams.

Participants also have the opportunity to sign up for one-on-one “clinics” in the evening with course experts to discuss the challenges they face in their countries and request advice.

7 The Course

8 CLINICS

As part of the course, we offer participants the opportunity to sign up for optional “clinics” with session leaders. The purpose of these clinics is to give you the opportunity to meet the expert session leaders in one-on- one sessions. You will have dedicated time in which to interrogate the issues you are working on in your countries in more depth. Clinics should be participant-led and, ideally, problem-focused: you should come prepared with discussion points for a 10–15 minute The Course session. A useful approach could be to think about what you are working on at present and how the experts’ inputs could help you to address the challenges you face. You could take a more general approach to your clinic by using your time slot to explore session topics in more depth. To make sure the discussion remains relevant to you, it would be good to try to link the themes and issues in question to your country contexts and to seek help from the experts in teasing out responses to the various problems that you are addressing in your work. Alternatively, you could use your time slot for a more focused discussion. You could present one or two carefully chosen challenges and then use your allocated time to work with the expert, drawing on their knowledge to brainstorm solutions and strategies that you could adopt. Clinics will be held on Tuesday April 2, and Wednesday April 3. Clinic slots are 10–15 minutes in length, are optional, and are offered on a fi rst-come, fi rst-served basis. Sign-up sheets are available on the day the clinic takes place; you can sign up until the end of the afternoon coffee break (15:30). Room location will be indicated on the sign-up sheets. On Tuesday April 2, we will have the clinics at two different times: from 12:45 to 13:30 with Valerie Marcel and from 17:30 to 19:00 with Elisabeth Caesens. For the fi rst one, sign-up time will close at the end of the morning coffee break, so please make sure your name is on the list by then. On Wednesday April 3, we will have the clinics with Robert F. Conrad and Eric Parrado from 17.30 to 19.00. Participants are asked to respect the time of the expert and their fellow participants by arriving on time, being prepared, and adhering to their time slot. 9 Recap revenue enterprises: State-owned management Andrew Bauer Andrew Bauer Special funds considerations 4.4 4.5 4.6 ) and and Recap Contract Contract continued workshop: negotiation Negotiation ( Tax analysis Tax Thomas Lassourd Thomas Lassourd Nicola Woodroffe Nicola Woodroffe 4.1 4.2 4.3 The Course and and Recap settings in natural to revenue Introduction management resource-rich David Mihalyi David Mihalyi National-level Andrew Bauer Andrew Bauer management: public fi nancial public fi the budget cycle 3.6 3.7 3.8 (Parallel paths begin) (Parallel paths continue) and and Recap models designing Workshop: Workshop: Tax analysis Tax analysis Tax —Using fi scal —Using fi a fi scal regime a fi Thomas Lassourd Thomas Lassourd Nicola Woodroffe Nicola Woodroffe Distributing, Managing & Spending Resource Revenues 3.1 3.2 3.3 Path 2: of Recap Examination Examination Content tax structures Robert F.

CHATHAM HOUSE RULE

All sessions during the course will be held under the Chatham House Rule. When a meeting is held under the Chatham House Rule, Participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affi liation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed. The Rule allows people to speak as individuals, and to express views that may not be those of their organisations. It therefore encourages free discussion. People usually feel more relaxed if they don’t have to worry about their reputation or the implications if they are publicly quoted. The rule can be used effectively on social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn as long as the person tweeting or messaging reports only what was said at an event and does not identify—directly or indirectly—the speaker or another participant.
