Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Ecoviolence explores links between environmental scarcities of key renewable resourcessuch as cropland, fresh water, and forestsand violent rebellions, insurgencies, and ethnic clashes in developing countries. Detailed contemporary studies of civil violence in Chiapas, Gaza, South Africa, Pakistan, and Rwanda show how environmental scarcity has played a limited to significant role in causing social instability in each of these contexts.
