Global Resource Scarcity Catalyst for Conflict or Cooperation?
A common perception of global resource scarcity holds that it is inevitably a catalyst for conflict among nations; yet, paradoxically, incidents of such scarcity underlie some of the most important examples of international cooperation.

This book proposes an alternative. Noncitizenism identifies an analytical category of noncitizenship. While main…
