This web archive or "cyberary"
explores the causes of conflicts involving environmental
concerns, without presuming that environmental disputes
are necessarily a cause of conflict -- indeed they may
be a part of the solution to wider regional conflicts.
The emerging field of environmental conflict resolution
has its roots in various disciplines such as political
science, economic game theory, systems analysis,
sociology and anthropology.
The idea for this cyberary emerged from a seminar on
environmental conflict resolution which I taught at the
Watson Institute of Brown University .The first set of
postings comes from papers submitted as part of that
seminar. I have subsequently expanded this cybrary to
include some of my own working papers and publications as
well as those of my students that merit international online
circulation.
