GLOBAL WARRING: HOW ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC, AND POLITICAL CRISES WILL REDRAW THE WORLD MAP
Book ID/图书代码： 11514010B35161
English Summary/英文概要： In a perfect storm, the environment, the global economic system and geopolitics are all undergoing rapid, uncontrolled change. In the same way that the climate is in a state of flux, exhibiting erratic behavior before settling into a new norm, in the wake of the global economic crisis, many of the assumptions about the Western economic system have been destroyed, which leads to some troubling questions:
1. How vulnerable is the United States to more devastating hurricanes like Katrina?
2. What will the opening of the Arctic mean for Russian access into North American waters?
3. Will China’s lack of clean, fresh water undermine its global ambitions?
4.Will India’s increasingly erratic monsoon affect its economic growth?
Global Warring takes a hard look at these questions. Journalist and analyst Cleo Paskal identifies problem areas that are most likely to start wars, destroy economies and create failed states. Examining the most likely environmental change scenarios, she illuminates the ways in which they could radically alter human existence. A fascinating tour through our uncertain future, Global Warring also offers a controversial new way forward for the global economy and the worldwide environmental crisis.

Awards/获奖情况：Review
The strength of this book lies in Paskal’s capacity to relate a broad set of disparate and dynamic physical and social scientific findings into a coherent projection about the future. She does a surprisingly good job of herding cats. This well-crafted projection calls for an immediate set of policy responses which make sense. Because of the urgency of the writing and the author’s sense of humor, this book is a page-turner. I recommend it to academics and non-academics interested in the relationship between international law and the use of force.---Noah Weisbord, Visiting Assistant Professor of Law, Duke Law School
"Cleo Paskal is original and compelling; a pioneering scholar of the new terrain where climate change confronts national security, she charts the dramatic implications not just for the game of nations but for their geographic borders, their resources and their fundamental interests." ---Martin Walker-- 全球商業政策理事會(Global Business Policy Council)資深董事、合眾國際社（United Press International） 總編 senior director of the Global Business Policy Council and Editor-in-Chief Emeritus of United Press International.
"Cleo Paskal’s mastery over geopolitics has been fused to a remarkable understanding of just how the coming geophysical changes may affect our planet. This is the fist comprehensive view of the real consequences of environmental change." ---M D Nalapat, 印度曼尼堡高等學院暨聯合國科教文組織和平講座教授. UNESCO Peace Chair and director of the Department of Geopolitics, Manipal University, India
“Cleo Paskal’s vividly illustrates the complex interconnections between climate change, environmental conditions, and energy security. Rather than just take a global view, she also demonstrates how environmental changes will impact the lives of people across the globe.”---Chad Briggs—美國能源部《能源與環境局》安全資深顧問, Senior Advisor, Energy and Environmental Security Directorate. US Department of Energy.
"[Paskal] writes with the power of a journalist underpinned by the research habits of an academic. . . . She has for years contributed learned articles on how rising sea levels may change international borders with major implications. Her latest book arrives with the clarity and importance of the crack of doom." ---Tom Spencer --歐洲公共事務中心執行總監 executive director, European Centre for Public Affairs
“In a field beset by hyperbole on the one hand, and complacency on the other, Cleo Paskal’s work provides a refreshing, well-grounded and highly readable take on geopolitics and environmental change in the twenty-first century.”---Jeffrey Mazo, Assistant Editor of the journal Survival (see url below) at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, From Booklist
