Resource, Region, and Ruin was born out of a simple but urgent question: Why do regions blessed with natural wealth so often fall into conflict, exclusion, and decay?

After two decades of field experience, policy advising, and academic research across oil-rich and resource-dependent regions, I saw the same patterns repeating—disempowered communities, broken institutions, and rising unrest.

The MASI Framework emerged as a way to explain what data alone couldn’t: how Mobility, Access to Voice, Spatial Burden, and the Welfare Gap interact to destabilize societies.

This book is not just a diagnosis—it’s a call to rethink how we govern, develop, and build lasting justice.
