on ANSWER SHEET 2.
46){{U}}A favourite prediction of environmentalism has bitten
the dust—too many natural resources, rather than too few, are the cause of an
increasing number of wars in the 21st century.{{/U}} 47){{U}}Many
greens had predicted that the new century would see a rash of wars in countries
where natural resources such as timber, water, minerals and fertile mils am
running out.{{/U}} But far from it, says the 2002 State of the World report from
the prestigious Washington-based think-tank, the Worldwatch Institute.
In fact, says the report's co-author Michael Rennet, there are "numerous
places in the developing world where abundant natural resources help fuel
conflicts." More than a quarter of current conflicts are either being fought
over, or are funded by, some lucrative natural resource. Examples cited by the
Worldwatch Institute include: ·Diamond mines in Sierra Lame and
Angola malting the two African nations ripe for plunder by warlords
·Profits from sapphires, rubies and timber arming the Khmer Rouge in their
interminable jungle war in Cambodia ·Guerillas using the threat
of sabotage to extort hundreds of millions of dollars from oil companies
prospecting in Colombia ·Opium funding 20 years of war in
Afghanistan ·The Congo's continuing civil war subsisting on the
proceeds of elephant tusks and coltan, a vital mineral in the manufacture of
mobile phones With the end of the cold war, superpowers no
longer fund civil wars for their own geopolitical ends, says Rennet. Their place
has been taken by the market—in the form of the plunder and sale of natural
resources. 48){{U}}"Nature's bounty attracts groups that may claim
they are driven by grievance, but which initiate violence not to overthrow a
government but to gain and maintain control of lucrative resources," says
Rennet.{{/U}} Such resource wars are being fought because of "greed rather than
need." 49){{U}}According to David Keen at the London School of
Economics: "We tend to regard conflict as pimply a breakdown in a particular
system, rather than as the emergence of another, alternative system 9f profit
and power, i.e.a 'conflict economy' with the looting of natural resources at its
heart."{{/U}} Rennet warns that warlords in such conflicts have no
interest in winning the war, because its continuance is more profitable.
50){{U}}And he says too many Western governments are happy to turn a blind eye as
their own corporations reap the benefits in cheap no-questions-asked raw
materials.{{/U}} Rennet argues the issue of resource conflicts
should be added to the agenda of the forthcoming World Summit on Sustainable
Development to be held in Johannesburg in August 2002.
