Items related to Emerging Global Scarcities and Power Shifts
Food, energy and water are becoming more scarce and result in steady price increases that may well continue. Moreover, these scarcities are interrelated, because energy price increases and environmental concerns stimulate the production and utilization of bio-fuels that compete with food for land and water. Price increases of raw materials, energy and food also have direct consequences on developing countries. Power shifts between and within regions are the consequence of shifting money and trade flows increasing relative wealth in some countries and continents and decreasing relative wealth in others.
The essays here are based on a series of lectures organized by the Society of International Development (SID), the Netherlands. The lecture series was rounded off with a closing conference in the Dutch Senate in September 2008, organized together with the World Connectors, a Netherlands based NGO chaired by the former Dutch Prime Minister, Ruud Lubbers.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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. 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.
