• Farmer–herder conflicts, pastoral marginalisation and corruption: a case study from the inland Niger delta of Mali (2009, background): “…1998; Homer-Dixon 1999) or, more recently, by climate change.1 This scarcity narrative has, however, been questioned by both peace and conflict studies (e.g. Binningsbø et al. 2007; Raleigh and Urdal 2007) and case-based political ecology studies (e.g. Bassett 1988; Turner 2004; Benjaminsen 2008).”
• Climate variability, food production shocks, and violent conflict in Sub-Saharan Africa (2015, background): “In the wake of acute food shortages, maldistribution or embezzlement of aid may further contribute to violent conflict (Benjaminsen 2008, Hendrix and Brinkman 2013, Nunn and Qian 2014).”
• Demand, supply, and restraint: Determinants of domestic water conflict and cooperation (2014, unknown): “…that environmental stress is likely to lead to violent conflict (e.g., Libiszewski, 1996; Suliman, 1996; Homer-Dixon, 1999; Kahl, 2006), others argue that resource scarcity plays only a minor role in generating conflict (e.g., Benjaminsen, 2008; Kevane and Gray, 2008; Witsenburg and Adano, 2009).”
• Food security and conflict: Empirical challenges and future opportunities for research and policy making on food security and conflict (2019, background): “In this case, associated forms of maldistribution, patronage, corruption and embezzlement of aid may then also activate or exacerbate existing grievances against the state (Benjaminsen, 2008; Hendrix and Brinkman, 2013; Nunn and Qian, 2014).”
