Ecoviolence: links among environment, population and security

HOMER-DIXON Thomas (ed.)

Ecoviolence: links among environment, population and security - Lanham, Md.: Rowman & Littlefield, 1998 - 238p.

Explores links between environmental scarcities of key renewable resources - such as cropland, fresh water and forests - and violent rebellions, insurgencies, and ethnic clashes. Includes case studies of civil violence in Mexico, Gaza, South Africa, Pakistan and Rwanda. The authors suggest that environmental scarcity will worsen in many poor countries and, thus, become an increasingly important cause of major civil violence.
