Conflict over Natural Resources in South-East Asia and the Pacific (Natural Resources of South-East Asia): Lim Teck Ghee, Valencia, Mark J.: 9780195889376: Amazon.com: Books
This book focuses on South-East Asian and Pacific regions richly endowed with natural resources in international demand to examine patterns of extraction and use and analyse subsequent conflicts. Attempting to find ways of preventing such conflicts, the study addresses the role of the state and its development policies, militarization, the impact of the world economic crises, the role of modern science and technology, human rights, and cultural survival. Reviewing the strategies employed by the various countries to maintain their access to marine and land-based natural resources, the book also suggests alternatives for resolving the conflicts at local, national, and international levels.
