Clashes over environmental issues often leave government agencies,
industry and activists locked in unproductive political or legal
combat. Increasingly, players from all sides are conceding that
there must be some other way of resolving environmental conflicts.
This book examines that proposition by examining how and why
conflicts occur and whether approaches to conflict resolution based
on consensus building could be more widely applied. It differs from
existing books by covering both environmental mediation and public
participation and by analysing detailed case studies from the UK,
the US and the Netherlands. In addition, the book explores official
resistance to the wider use of consensus building, arguing that
government agencies that have resisted participation and mediation
cannot be dismissed as the problem but have to be part of the
solution. The concluding chapter suggests general principles for
effective partnership working concerning the remits, resources and
the timescales within which agencies operate.
