This thought-provoking work by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed delves into the intricate relationship between environmental degradation, resource scarcity, and political instability. Published in the aftermath of the Iraq War and the ongoing War on Terror, “Failing States, Collapsing Systems” offers a unique perspective on the root causes of conflict, challenging conventional narratives.

Ahmed, a respected investigative journalist and academic, draws upon his expertise in international relations, energy policy, and environmental studies to present a compelling argument. He explores how factors such as climate change, dwindling fossil fuel reserves, and unsustainable resource exploitation can exacerbate existing socio-economic tensions, potentially leading to state failure and violence.

This copy, though well-loved and marked by its previous owners, remains a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and readers interested in understanding the complex interplay between natural resources, geopolitics, and human security. Ahmed’s interdisciplinary approach and meticulous research make this book a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the challenges facing our increasingly interconnected world.
