Resource Wars
Book • 2001
Michael T. Klare's 'Resource Wars' examines how dwindling natural resources and rising global demand have become central drivers of international conflict.
Klare argues that as oil, water, minerals, and arable land become scarcer, nations and corporations increasingly compete for access, often leading to tension and military confrontation.
The book surveys past and potential conflicts and explains how resource scarcity reshapes foreign policy and strategic priorities.
Klare combines reporting, historical context, and geopolitical analysis to show the connections between resource dependence and security threats.
The work is influential among policymakers and analysts concerned with energy security and environmental geopolitics.
