Politics of Scarcity “predicts that future international conflict will likely be caused by resource scarcities—restricted access to food, oil, and water.” (370) Environmental Security “recognizes that threats by such phenomena as global warming, ozone depletion, and the loss of tropical forests and marine habitats can threaten the future of humankind just as much as can the threat of nuclear annihilation.” (370) Epistemic Community refers to “a group of experts from around the world who seek to redefine security to move beyond realism’s popular state-centric conception of international politics” to include environmental issues into the definition of security. (370, 371) Sustainable Development “is now popularly perceived as an alternative to the quest for unrestrained growth.” (370) Relative Gains Absolute Gains Ecopolitics of Energy Oil OPEC Cartel Search for Renewable Energy Supply Fear of Nuclear Energy Wind, Water, Solar, Biomass
