Michael T Klare has long predicted the man regional conflicts we see today as resource scarcity brings conflicts between nations and groups. The global scramble for the last dwindling pockets of oil, natural gas, minerals, water and other important resources industrial nations need to be serious states will lead to more wars and widespread order instabilities. 
In his book "Resource Wars", Klare gives the readers the new realities and scary dangers of this unstable world where population growths and important resource depletion s these populations need for sustainability will explode into many regional catastrophes between nations. Klare looks Into the Persian Gulf and our continuing arms transfers to our various oil satellite states who barely are able to keep pumping black gold to meet global demands. Russian growth and reemergence is highlighted in his chapters on the growing importance of energy in the Caspian Sea basin as is the growing tensions in the South China Sea that have only gotten worse since this book was published.
Klare gives a long list of military actions and conflicts that have erupted between Phillipines,China,Taiwan and Vietnam that are only to get more complicated as these countries try to remain modern and major players in the region by increasing their military budgets and buying up all sorts of weaponry. Parallels between Asian countries and European empires before the start of the First World War are startling noticeable. Klare then ends this important energy publication on the emerging role of water will play in the Nile, Indus, and Jordan valley as the most precious resource for mankind becomes more diluted and scarcer than all the others
