The Ingenuity Gap: Can We Solve the Problems of the Future?
Thomas "Tad" Homer-Dixon is Director of the Peace and Conflict Studies Program at the University of Toronto, and Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto. Since completing his Ph.D. in 1989, and moving to the University of Toronto, he has led several international research projects examining the links between environmental stress and violence in developing countries. In recent years, his research has focused on how societies adapt to complex economic, ecological, and technological change. Besides The Ingenuity Gap, his books include Environment, Scarcity, and Violence (Princeton University Press, 1999) and, coedited with Jessica Blitt, Ecoviolence: Links among Environment, Population, and Security (Rowman & Littlefield, 1998).
