Natural resources are distributed very unevenly among the countries of the world, and there is often little relationship between the location of strategic resources and population densities or between resources and developmental aspirations and current levels of living and consumption patterns. Consequently, substantial quantities of most natural resources or their immediate products move in international trade. There is a renewed and growing concern over the terms on which these natural resources and resource commodities are traded for other goods, such as manufactures, capital goods and equipment, technical skills and services, etc. Although the problems of resources and development have become increasingly interrelated and global in scope, most past studies have confined their analyses to particular aspects of these issues. This seminar attempted to treat these problems within a comprehensive, multidisciplinary framework. Part I, Natural Resources, Chaps. 1-7, focuses on the physical and economic dimensions of natural resources. Part II, Economic Development, Chaps. 8-10, is devoted to aspects of history, theory, and current performance of economic development in relation to natural resource issues and policies. Part III, International Cooperation, Chaps. 11-13, considers relations among nation-states and the ways in which these relations or modifications in them may either intensify conflict or provide for greater international cooperation. Part IV, Analytical and Policy Redirections, Chaps. 14-15, examines mathematical modeling of socioeconomic-resource systems and views resource and development policies in a pragmatic sense.
