Exploiting Natural Resources Book Launch
| Date | Wednesday, February 11, 2009 |
| Location | Stimson Center |
In this new volume, regional experts from the Middle East, South Asia,
Southeast Asia, and Stimson analysts discuss the unsustainable
exploitation of forest, water, and mineral resources in pursuit of rapid
economic growth which threatens the environment, livelihoods, and food
security, as well as domestic and regional stability. This volume is the
first in a four volume series from the second year of Stimson’s
Regional Voices: Transnational Challenges project.
At the book
launch, project director Amit Pandya will introduce the project's work
of the second year. Richard Cronin, lead editor, will discuss key
findings from the volume, and will be followed by a commentary from the
Woodrow Wilson Center's Public Policy Scholar Jill Shankleman.
