0 - Default Title
Description
This book deals with the emerging global scarcities on food, energy and water; on how these are interrelated and affected by considerations and policies dealing with climate change and on how they affect the relative position of individual countries, groups of countries and the development prospects of developing countries. Experts in the field give their views on the matter. On the growing relationships and growing competition between food and bio-fuels; the consequence of rising energy prices and the geopolitical consequences of a likely further expansion of global demand for energy; Europe's (over)dependence on oil and gas from external resources; on climate change and the growing scarcity of water in relation to increasing demand for the production of food and bio-fuels. They finally shed their light on the shifts brought about in international power relations.
