Competition and Conflicts on Resource Use

This book reflects on the causes of resource-based conflicts and competition, and presents solutions for safely and sustainably providing resources with a focus on material flow management. The contributions from different disciplines highlight issues such as safe access to resources, conflicts over water and energy supplies, waste of strategic mineral resources, sustainable resource consumption, and renewable energy technologies.

Gives background information about resource conflicts and solutions for safe resources supply in the future Presents interdisciplinary research, including peace researchers, nuclear energy professionals and environmental scientists Provides a comprehensive scientific information pool on many facets of resource conflicts Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
