2. Water
• Water is another crucial resource that is relevant to global politics.
• Regional variations and the increasing scarcity of freshwater in some parts of the world
point to the possibility of disagreements over shared water resources as a leading source of
conflicts in the 21st century.
The Indigenous Peoples and Their Rights
• Indigenous peoples are population consisting of descendants of the people who inhabited
the present territory. Later on people of different culture or ethnic origin came to these
places from other parts of the world and defeated the original inhabitants.
• Indigenous people today live more in conformity with their particular social, economic, and
cultural customs and traditions than the institutions of the country of which they now form a
part.
• Like other social movements, indigenous people speak of their struggles, their agenda and
their rights.
• The indigenous voices in world politics call for the admission of indigenous people to the
world community as equals.
• The loss of land, which also means the loss of an economic resource base, is the most
obvious threat to the survival of indigenous people.
