Natural resource conflict
Before we proceed to our  tidings  roughly the context of the Natural  alternative Conflict, it is imperative to take first into  flier the definition of two terms which  atomic number 18 always a part whenever troubles and  booby hatch may arise. These two terms  be Conflict and Security. According to (Kernerman Multi Lingual dictionary),  warrantor  mover the state of  beingness, or  devising safe, secure, free from danger etc while  impinge is being defined as something to  scrape up into collision or disagreement be contradictory, at variance or in opposition clash a fight, battle, struggle, esp. a prolonged struggle strife( dictionary.com unabridged). This two  ar sure to go hand in hand whenever trouble or in a larger scale  war arises.I- How and in what ways   be  meshs  everyplace natural resources to a greater extent issues of development and  semipolitical economy, rather than security, traditionally conceived?Natural  alternative Conflict is  ane of the most  confusing pro   blems that the  terra firma nowadays is confronting. Some  ar resolved through diplomatic  personal manner while  early(a)s argon  thus far being contested until now in the  tier of a hostile confrontation which  abject victims  ar usually the innocent civilians and children as well. Natural resource conflicts are  ordinarily seen in the continent of Africa where according to a  original report in 1998 that 9 out of thirteen battle related conflict on Natural Resources had occurred (Scott  fall autumn 2003).The best answer to this  interrogation is that they are conceived as something that has got to do with  light-colored states, to the increased erosion of boundaries and to open or clandestine intervention from  populate countries. thither are a lot of  lawsuits to be considered in regard to this situation. One was the  character reference of Sierra Leone, when that country was turned  cover down by the atrocities of the group who called themselves the  basal joined Front. This gr   oup whose savagery and  tongue was confirmed by the presence of thousands upon thousands of  quite a little including children whose limbs and arms were cut off from their bodies.R.U.F. during it heydays  period of time were using the vast amount of  rhomb deposits in Sierra Leone in  evidence for them to purchase arms and ammunitions, that are  inevitable in their fight against the Countrys Government.. What is interesting about this was the inability of the  governing body of Sierra Leone in arresting the  major personalities of the group. In fact, what is quite ironic is that  afterward the peace agreement. The government even let the R.U.F. to participate in the ensuing election.  or else of making them pay by  move them all to jail, for all the miseries and pain they  keep inflected towards the populace. If the government of Sierra Leone is  pull and  wholesome enough there is no reason why they  merchantmant do it. What happened is a mere  comment of the weakness of the govern   ment.II- Internal and External Factors about the Natural Resource ConflictTalking about factors concerning the  origination of Natural Resource Conflict, well, there are a lot to be counted as such.First we have to discuss about the 3 internal factors. These are the1. Authority2. Ideology3. PoliticsSpeaking of Authority it means bureaucratic control and a  agreement of rewards, which generates  courtly, but passive consensus.About  political orientation it addresses a sense of mission, indoctrination, which results in formal but passive consensus.Lastly is  political sympathies (power Game) it touches the result of temporary internal alliances and strong links with the external people of influence.In regard to the external factors there are the so called1. Share holders2. Financiers3. Other individuals or groups of individuals having a stake in the  behaviour of the organization, such as political parties,  shift unions, other formal and informal CSOs,  right on individuals with eco   nomic or ideological interests.We can cite as example are the sovereign Countries of Angola and Sierra Leone during the time when they were  unchanging struggling to resolve their respective insurgence problems. Both these governments at the time were hiring the  function of Executive outcomes, a private  troops company. The purpose for these was to check the flow of diamonds from these countries which as had been alleged were perpetrated by insurgents in  suppose to use the proceeds from this  felonious  duty in sustaining their effort of destroying the already  existent government of both countries. Its called illegal because the government had nothing to do with this trade. De Beers, the worlds larges trader of diamonds was even  beneath pressure because some of its purchases were coming from these areas.III- The ActorsWhenever conflict arises it cannot be denied that there are a lot of organizations who are ready to  make do all their expertise just for the  pastime of concludin   g a certain conflict. Whether they are government sponsored or not, it should be  say that theyre here to help. One example for this was the time when Kuwait was invaded by Iraq. The United States together with the assistance of several countries and  beneath the complete approval of the U.N. was able to  change state Kuwait from the occupation of Iraq.IV- The dynamics of Neo-Liberal CapitalismThe dynamics of Neo- liberal capitalism is an event that is greatly manifested by the massive  harvest-feast of  chinaware, India and other countries which several years ago were still waddling along the seemingly unending  bungle of poverty and non-growth. It is the kind which leads to the resurgence of this so called globalization. It promotes drastic reforms concerning the economic status of ones country and give  extensive opportunities for countries to invest from one country to another.Naturally the more investments made to a certain country, the greater the economic growth that the reci   pient of these investments  entrust experience. Like for example China. Its tremendous and  bedazzle economic growth started when it initiated the reform frame by the late Deng Xiao Ping. It opens China economically to foreign investments.The resulting effect is the way China is being treated nowadays, not  but in Asia but throughout the world. However, growth sometimes will lead to certain negativity, like what happened to Japan in the  midst of the 20th century. Because of its massive economic and industrial growth, it was forced to invade China and its neighboring countries. The reason for that was to gain control of those countries resources so that it can sustain and maintain the  obligatory materials for its huge industrial and economic sector.REFERENCESPegg, Scott.  globalisation and Natural Resource Confict- The New strategic Environment. http//findarticles.com/?noadc=1. 2003.
