L'Eau, nouvel enjeu stratégique mondial

Languages : fr
Pages : 117
Book Description
Ressource vitale, l’eau est très inégalement répartie sur notre planète. L’accroissement démographique rapide dans des zones arides, la multiplication d’usages de l’eau souvent contradictoires, des nationalismes sourcilleux, lorsqu’ils s’allient, exacerbent ce caractère vital de l’eau qui est devenue un enjeu économique et donc un enjeu de politique nationale et internationale. D’ailleurs, n’utilise-t-on pas de plus en plus fréquemment le terme d’« hydropolitique » ? De nombreux conflits pour l’eau ont eu lieu au cours de l’Histoire et il existe à l’heure actuelle un risque potentiellement élevé d’en voir surgir de nouveaux, alors que l’eau elle-même a été utilisée comme arme dans des conflits récents. Cet ouvrage s’efforce de présenter les solutions qui seraient les plus susceptibles de les désamorcer en maintenant de ce fait la sécurité mondiale.

International Social Science Journal
Author: New Security Frontiers
Author: Sai Felicia Krishna-HenselPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317088026
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
The globalizing world is increasingly confronting a new category of security issues related to resource availability. The resource environment contains both traditional categories, such as energy, foodstuffs, and water, as well as new technologically related resources, such as rare earth minerals. The essays in this volume emphasize both the uniqueness and the magnitude of these new challenges, while simultaneously acknowledging that cooperation and competition in response to these security concerns occur within the context of both the historical and contemporary international power configurations. Moreover, these challenges are of a global nature and will require global perspectives, global thinking, and innovative global solutions. Krishna-Hensel brings together a wide range of topics focusing on critical resource availability impacting upon global security and the geopolitical ramifications of resource competition. The volume addresses the development of strategic thinking on these issues and underscores the increasing awareness that this is a critical area of concern in the twenty-first century global landscape.
