The Shaping of Greenland’s Resource Spaces
The book examines ideas about the making and shaping of Greenland’s society, environment, and resource spaces. It discusses how Greenland’s resources have been extracted at different points in its history, shows how acquiring knowledge of subsurface environments has been crucial for matters of securitisation, and explores how the country is being imagined as an emerging frontier with vast mineral reserves. The book delves into the history and contemporary practice of geological exploration and considers the politics and corporate activities that frame discussion about extractive industries and resource zones.

Interdisciplinary volume considers how nine arid/semi-arid river basins with irrigated agriculture will survive future climate change, siltation, and decreased flow.
International Water Scarcity and Variability
International Water Scarcity and Variability considers international water management challenges created by water scarcity and environmental change. Although media coverage and some scholars tend to cast natural resource shortages as leading inexorably toward armed conflict and war, Shlomi Dinar and Ariel Dinar demonstrate that there are many examples of and mechanisms for more peaceful dispute resolution regarding natural resources, even in the face of water paucity and climate change. The authors base these arguments on both global empirical analyses and case studies. Using numerous examples that focus on North America, Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East, this book considers strategies and incentives that help lessen conflict and motivate cooperation under scarcity and increased variability of water resources.

Les Vestins à l'époque tardo-républicaine. Du nord-osque au latin
En Italie centro-méridionale, la domination romaine se met en place au début du IIIe siècle avant notre ère. Chez les Vestins, la langue parlée et écrite est alors un dialecte osque. Près de trois siècles plus tard, sous Auguste, le latin devient la seule langue attestée. Il y a eu latinisation : la langue indigène a été remplacée par le latin, dans un nombre croissant de contextes. Nous étudions ici les facteurs et les modalités de ce processus socio-linguistique, à partir de la documentation littéraire, archéologique et épigraphique subsistante. Les Vestins n'ont pas considéré leur langue comme une composante de la représentation qu'ils se faisaient d'eux-mêmes : leurs élites qui disposaient des usages publics et privés de l'écriture, du moins de ceux qui sont attestés, étaient toutes disposées à y renoncer.
