Reviews

Not only does this book provide a foray into the cutting edge of cross-disciplinary research into the problems of natural resource-led development, but it is also specialized reading on how we might more broadly understand the connections between resources and conflict. This volume poses a serious challenge to theories of 'ecoviolence' that see scarcity of resources as a cause of socio-economic decay and violence. Journal of Peace Research ... the volume is to be welcomed, and will hopefully be widely read and cited. Journal of International Development
