Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The publication of Thomas Homer-Dixon's paper "On the Threshold:Environmental Changes As Causes of Acute Conflict" in International Security in 1991 initiated a vigorous international research program on therelationship between environmental stress in poor countries -- especially shortages of cropland, fresh water, and forest resources -- and civil violence. The current paper will review the progress of research since then, synthesize across the competing intellectual and methodological perspectives in the field, suggest where the original hypotheses were correct and incorrect, identify areas of major agreement and disagreement, and identify key lacuna in our current understanding that should be targets for future research.
