Environmental conflict resolution (ECR) is a process of negotiation
that allows stakeholders in a dispute to reach a mutually
satisfactory agreement on their own terms. The tools of ECR, such
as facilitation, mediation, and conflict assessment, suggest that
it fits well with other ideas for reforming environmental policy.
First used in 1974, ECR has been an official part of policymaking
since the mid 1990s. The Promise and Performance of Environmental
Conflict Resolution is the first book to systematically evaluate
the results of these efforts.
The Promise and Performance of Environmental Conflict Resolution
presents empirical research along with insights from some of ECR's
most experienced practitioners. Beginning with a primer about
concepts and methods, the book describes the kinds of disputes
where ECR has been applied, making it clear that "despite the faith
of proponents in the power and usefulness of ECR, it is not
applicable to all environmental conflicts."The contributions that
follow critically investigate the record and potential of ECR,
drawing on perspectives from political science, public
administration, regional planning, philosophy, psychology,
anthropology, and law.
ECR is being extended to almost every area of environmental
policy. Rosemary O'Leary and Lisa Bingham argue that truly
effective use of ECR requires something more than advocacy. The
Promise and Performance of Environmental Conflict Resolution
provides scholars, policymakers, students, and practitioners with
critical assessments, so that ECR can be used to its best
advantage.
