Population Growth, Carrying Capacity, and Conflict

http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/344616Abstract
The standard model of population growth and regulation is critiqued. It is argued that any model of population growth and regulation must accommodate ten propositions, and a multi-trajectory model that does so is described. This model identifies competition between groups, individual choice in reproductive behavior, the scale for spatial and temporal variation in resource abundance, and the social unit for resource access and ownership as important components of population behavior.
