How do the environment and natural resources affect conflicts between and within states? What are the effects of war and conflict on the natural environment and human security? This seminar examines various cases of conflict and natural resources from the Middle East, Africa, and East Asia. We also look at how natural resource extraction, production, and consumption shape political governance and economic wellbeing before, during, and after conflict.
