In recent years the concept of the resource "nexus" has been both
hotly debated and widely adopted in research and policy circles. It
is a powerful new way to understand and better govern the myriad
complex relationships between multiple resources, actors and their
security concerns. Particular attention has been paid to water,
energy and food interactions, but land and materials emerge as
critical too. This comprehensive handbook presents a detailed
review of current knowledge about resource nexus-related
frameworks, methods and governance, including a broad set of
inter-disciplinary perspectives. Written by an international group
of scholars and practitioners, the volume focuses on rigorous
research, including tools, methods and modelling approaches to
analyse resource use patterns across societies and scales from a
"nexus perspective". It also provides numerous examples from
political economy to demonstrate how resource nexus frameworks can
illuminate issues such as land grabs, mining, renewable energy and
the growing importance of economies such as China, as well as to
propose lessons and outlooks for sound governance. The volume seeks
to serve as an essential reference text, source book and
state-of-the-art, science-based assessment of this increasingly
important topic - the resource nexus - and its utility in efforts
to enhance sustainability of many kinds and implement the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals in an era of environmental
and geopolitical change.
