Michael T. Klare argues that in the early decades of the new millenium, wars will be fought not over ideology but over natural commodities, as states battle to control dwindling precious supplies. The political divisions of the Cold War, Klare asserts, are giving way to an immense global scramble for essential materials, such as oil, timber, minerals, and water. And as armies throughout the world redefine resource scarcity as their primary mission, widespread instability is bound to follow, especially in places where mounting demand, due to population growth and industrialization, collides with long-standing disputes over territorial rights."--BOOK JACKET. 0aSecurity, International. 0aNatural resources. 0aWorld politicsy1989- 0aUnited StatesxMilitary policy.4 3Table of Contentsuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy02/00050001.html aANLcYY 355.033573 K63
