Rr: resource revolts

Michael T. Klare, professor of peace and world security studies at Hampshire College, writes in a commentary for CBS that rising food and oil prices leading to riots look like "the perfect set of preconditions for a global tsunami of instability and turmoil".  ”Events in Algeria and Tunisia give us just an inkling of what this maelstrom might look like, but where and how it will next erupt, and in what form, is anyone’s guess.  A single guarantee: we haven’t seen the last of resource revolts which, in the coming years, could reach an intensity we scarcely imagine today,” Prof. Michael T. Klare writes.
