2009; Almaz 2015). With regard to the ‘modernisation effect’, the other indicator of the rentier economy, the statistics of 2008 show that employment in unskilled occupations has been much higher in Azerbaijan compared to neighbouring republics, suggesting a lack of qualified labour in specialised occupations (Shaw 2013). Unlike Azerbaijan, Belarus had to seek rents by adjusting its foreign and internal policies to maximise the inflows of rents from Russia. The exchange of rents for concessions was not new: the Soviet Union had distributed much of its petrochemicals towards its Eastern European satellites to secure their loyalty and maintain economic dependency.
The high dependency on the oil and gas sector has prevented the development of the non-oil sector. Similarly, the development of a small and medium business sector has been lagging behind. According to World Bank assessments, the SME comprised only 10% of GDP in 2016. 28 The same source reminds us that the official number in 2014 was more than 23%, while according to independent experts it did not exceed 3% of GDP. The other trend observed was that the sector of state employees was expanding—by 2013, there were 29, 710 people working in the state service, an increase by 3, 500 people from the 2005 baseline. 29 According to the state statistical committee, in 2015 the people employed in the public sector exceeded those working in the private sector—877, 100 compared to 629, 200 in the private sector.
The structural effects of the oil curse have been exaggerated by the Soviet legacies, where the institutions of checks and balances are weak or non-existent, being characteristic of many post-colonial states (Ishiyama 2008). In 2006, the rise of ‘big oil’, stimulated by production increases in the Azeri–Chirag–Guneshli oil field, coincided with the parliament’s complete transformation into a rubber stamp body, while the judicial branch became fully subservient to the executive as the result of policies of repression and co-optation. By 2018 there was no opposition party represented in the national parliament.
Conversely, in those countries where the private actors own the external rent flows, the design of political and economic institutions will depend on, first, the survival strategy of the incumbent institutional channels through which the incumbent obtains/retains the office and the modes of interaction with the rent-seeking cronies and, second, the (in)ability of cronies to reach a compromise and put self-limitations on the looting. Having spelled out the structural factors it is necessary to show how structural variables are interrelated with agency variables. We argue that, besides the structural factor of rents, the ways in which the incumbent wins the office and maintains power influence the consequent system of rent distribution.
Consequently, interstate rent-seeking enabled various state and non-state actors in the post-Soviet republics to convert external public losses into internal private benefits. Herein, Russian leverage and linkage could change donor–recipient relations. The origins of those rents were multiple: the windfall profits contained in the interstate trade and customs agreements; administratively stimulated demand for exports; foreign aid; price imbalances; smuggling; and barter agreements. Sources of rents: external versus internalOverall, the source of rents represents the first variable to explain the divergent paths of the two countries. The presence of the internal rents in Azerbaijan makes it a classic first-grade rentier state confirming all its three effects as described by Michael Ross (2001): rentier, repression and modernisation effects.

On the other hand, the presence of some vocal (but weak) opposition with strong anti-sponsor identity can increase the legitimacy of the political incumbent in the perception of the rent-provider. The right balance is one of the keys for political survival when external rents are the main source of economic anaesthesia meant to substitute for market reforms. In the views of Gubad Ibadoglu, there is practically no real sector of economy in Azerbaijan14 and more than half of the non-oil sector is the result of capital investment in infrastructure and transportation industries by unknown companies registered in off-shore zones.
Given that Russia has been providing crude oil to Belarus at domestic prices whilst the world market price for oil has been significantly higher, that made Belarus’s oil exports highly marginal. The oil sector thus used to be the main producer of hard currency and the biggest locomotive of the national economy. While the economies of Azerbaijan and Belarus depend largely on oil revenues, they differ in many other indicators. First and foremost, Belarus is still a socialist-mixed economy in which more than 70% of the GDP is produced in the state sector.
Oil resources are usually associated with a high level of corruption. Pleines (2012) described how regional leaders form large patronage networks through which they reward supporters and co-opt rivals, bypassing the institutions and the norms of formal political decision-making. In Belarus and Azerbaijan, the access of ruling elites to state resources enables their survival through the creation of patronage networks, resulting in endemic, systemic corruption. Distribution of rentsThe ownership and the distribution of oil rents is a key issue for our research. Structurally, the rentier economy leads to the formation of rent-seeking elites.
5% against the US dollar. 26Economic hardship caused a wave of social protests in the regions and raised concerns regarding political stability. 27 In response, the government increased the distribution of rents to the wider population, as reflected in the budget for 2016, which compared to previous years was more socially oriented (Hajizada et al. Two more traits of the rentier economy have developed in the country to influence conditions for opposition: underdevelopment of the non-oil sector of the economy and shrinking share of SMEs in GDP.
