This work examines the effect of renewable natural resource scarcity on ethnic conflict. Determining how renewable natural resource scarcity affects ethnic conflict requires multiple levels of inquiry. First, is there a relationship between renewable natural resource scarcity and ethnic conflict? Second, if this relationship exists how do scarcities translate into ethnic conflict? Third, does the framework established have evidentiary support in particular cases that can be considered?

Les crises alimentaire et financière ayant marqué la fin des années 2000 ont précipité l'acquisition massive de terres par des investisseurs étrangers dans de nombreux pays du Sud. Ces formes souvent spectaculaires d'accaparement de terres ne constituent cependant qu'un aspect des transformations locales et globales des modes d'accès aux ressources naturelles. Réunissant des auteurs d'origines géographique et disciplinaire variées, Au-delà de l'accaparement explore ces transformations à partir de terrains d'enquête en Asie, en Afrique et en Amérique Latine. En rupture avec une représentation réductrice du land grabbing, il invite à replacer ce phénomène dans le temps long et à mettre en évidence la diversité des dynamiques à l'œuvre, au-delà des seules acquisitions à grande échelle. Il propose également une réflexion originale sur les alternatives mises en place pour contrer les dynamiques d'exclusion des populations rurales. Cette mise en perspective donne à voir de multiples tensions : entre la formalisation de droits individuels et la défense des communs ; entre légitimités autochtones et revendications paysannes ; entre approches institutionnelles et mobilisations locales pour la réappropriation des territoires. Se révèle alors toute la complexité des relations entre enjeux fonciers et modèles de développement agricole

Natural resource management is entering a new era in which rapid environmental and social changes inevitably alter ecosystems and the benefits they provide to society. This textbook provides a new framework for natural resource management—a framework based on stewardship of ecosystems for ecological integrity and human well-being in a world dominated by uncertainty and change. The goal of ecosystem stewardship is to respond to and shape changes in social-ecological systems in order to sustain the supply and availability of ecosystem services by society. The book links recent advances in the theory of resilience, sustainability, and vulnerability with practical issues of ecosystem management and governance. Chapters by leading experts then illustrate these principles in major social-ecological systems of the world. Inclusion of review questions, glossary, and suggestions for additional reading makes Principles of Ecosystem Stewardship: Resilience-Based Natural Resource Management in a Changing World particularly suitable for use in all courses of resource management, resource ecology, sustainability science, and the human dimensions of global change. Professional resource managers, policy makers, leaders of NGOs, and researchers will find this novel synthesis a valuable tool in developing strategies for a more sustainable planet.
