What is Resource Conflict In The Horn Of Africa (international Peace Research Institute, Oslo (prio)) about?

In Recent Decades, The Horn Of Africa Has Been Engulfed In Spiralling Conflict, Dire Poverty, Widespread Famine And Endemic Disease. Explanations For The Malaise That Has Afflicted This Part Of Africa Usually Focus On Ethnicity As The Cause Of Many Of The Conflicts. Although Ethnicity Is Often A Factor, The Substance Of The Conflict Is More Often Intense Competition Over Scarce And Diminishing Resources, Rather Than A Clash Of Cultures. This Book Addresses The Root Cause Of The Problem, Which Is The Widening Gap Between The Resource Base Of A Poorly Endowed Region And Its Rapidly Expanding Population. Resource Conflict In The Horn Of Africa Will Be Invaluable Reading For The Student And Specialist Alike In African And Development Studies, Environmentalism, And Political Science.--book Jacket.
