POLT 324 - Seminar: Natural Resources and Conflict


Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 hours
Attribute: 3SS
This course will examine the processes through which a natural resource like oil, diamonds or water becomes a source of contention. We will also look at the social, economic and political contexts that foster these resource-based conflicts. We will then move on to studying how conflicts in turn have a devastating impact on the environment, which can further exacerbate resource-based conflicts, engendering a vicious circle of natural resource exploitation/degradation and conflict.
Enrollment Limit: 15
Instructor: S. Pathak
