Now available online is Critical Materials: Underlying Causes and Sustainable Mitigation Strategies, which features a chapter by HCSS’s Michel Rademaker entitled “The Geopolitics of Materials: How Population Growth, Economic Development and Changing Consumption Patterns Fuel Geopolitics”. In it, he discusses the impact that the shifting supply and demand of natural resources will have on geopolitical relations in the future, particularly how increasing competition will lead to resource nationalism. This may contribute to a shift in the balance of power between East and West as emerging economies like India and China leverage their resources to expedite their economic growth and accelerate the change in world order.
