Brown, Lester R. The Global Politics of Resource Scarcity. [Washington, Overseas 

 Development Council] 1974. 48 p. (Overseas Development Council. Develop- 

 ment paper 17.) 



Briefly notes factors contributing to the shortage of several key 



resources — water, oceanic fisheries, waste absorptive capacity, energy, 



minerals, food, fertilizer, timber — and examines the effects of global resource 



scarcity on the economic and political relationships among countries. 



Brown, Lester. "Rich Countries and Poor in a Finite, Interdependent World," 



Daedalus, v. 102, fall 1973: 153-164. 



Examines briefly 3 of the resources on which global economic activity 

 depends: fresh water, oceanic protein, and waste absorptive capacity. Now 

 the expansion of economic activity is pressing against the Hmits of the Earth's 

 resources. The problem of how those resources which are in limited supply 

 are divided among countries is becoming a critical international political 

 issue.

 national Affairs b}^ Oxford University Press, 1975. 162 p. 



Assesses ". . . the international imphcations of recent changes in the 

 ownership, supply, cost, and consumption of the world's natural resources." 

 The book includes a survey of the physical and economic background to the 

 resources problem. "The main focus, however, is upon the often contentious 

 policy choices now faced, individually or in concert, by particular groups of 

 countries; those with surplus resources to export, those which are self- 

 suflScient, and those . . . which must depend on others for their vital 

 raw materials. . . . [The authors] are clear in their view that neither 

 economic hardship nor international conflict will be avoided in the future 

 unless efficient national management is combined with the co-operative 

 international exercise of a coherent political will by the producers and con- 

 sumers of resources alike."

Believes that "the problem of resource scarcity is not so serious as has 



often been supposed lately . . . and there are relatively conventional 



means to increase our capacity to deal with possible short-run scarcities."
