Description
Beyond Resource Wars: Scarcity, Environmental Degradation, and International Cooperation A fresh perspective on the links between environmental problems and inter-state conflict. This book argues that resource scarcity and environmental degradation can actually foster cooperation among countries, rather than leading to conflict. The contributors examine various natural resources and issues, including oil, water, climate change, ocean pollution, and biodiversity conservation, to explore how increasing scarcity and degradation induce cooperation across states. However, when conditions worsen, cooperation becomes more difficult. A comprehensive investigation of the links between scarcity, environmental degradation, cooperation, and conflict is presented by scholars in international relations, economics, and political science. With a detailed analysis of environmental conflict and cooperation, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between resource scarcity, environmental degradation, and international cooperation.
