• Sommario/riassunto: Common wisdom holds that the Earth's dwindling natural resources and increasing environmental degradation will inevitably lead to inter-state conflict, and possibly even set off 'resource wars'. This book offers a different perspective on the links between environmental problems and inter-state conflict.
