“Nightmare of the post-oil era” – the scary future of the Caspian Research and Analysis Center after reaching the peak of oil and gas revenues of Azerbaijan
“Nightmare of the post-oil era” – the scary future of the Caspian Research and Analysis Center after reaching the peak of oil and gas revenues of Azerbaijan
This analysis reminds me of Alec Rasizade’s algorithm, albeit in a more actual form (Rasizade outlined his algorithm in 2008. when oil prices reached their historical peak of $147 per barrel)

The scarcity of exploitable resources is the biggest nightmare of an autocracy like Azerbaijan. The inflow of cash keeps the oligarchs in line and “loyal” to the regime. Once the resources are near to exhaustion we’ll start to see cracks appearing in different segments of Azerbaijan’s fragmented authoritarianism.

The problem with all these articles lack the substance, detailed deep dive with facts etc. I don’t know the author but from my quick Google search he seems to be more political scientists and lacks economist credentials. This is more of a political piece rather than serious economical article.
That is the problem with Azerbaijan. Government is very opaque and pushes propaganda of a bright future and opposition counters with overly pessimistic predictions. No one is really invested in truth.
