Natural resources often stretch across borders that separate modern
nation states. This can create conflict and limit opportunities for
regulated consumption of their goods and services, but also provide
opportunities for joint multinational efforts that exceed single
country capabilities. This book illustrates the diversity of
transborder natural resources, the pressures that they experience
or the opportunities that exist for multinational regulatory
regimes, monitoring and enforcement. It presents ten case studies
of transborder natural resources that are of interest to two or
more neighboring countries, and that are subject to, or in need of
bilateral or multinational coordinated management. The case studies
include the exploitation of specific marine resources in
international waters, rivers that travel through several countries
and contiguous tropical forests across national borders, and where
commodities, nature conservation or even territorial integrity are
at stake. They are drawn from across the globe, including flood
management in Western Europe, tropical forests in the Western
Amazon, hydropower development in the Mekong region of South-east
Asia, forest conservation in Central Africa and marine resource and
fisheries exploitation in the waters of Japan, South-east Asia and
Australia. Together the chapters provide a review of a wide range
of transborder natural resource examples, and the diverse
regulatory regimes that need to be devised to achieve successful
management. An introductory chapter provides a conceptual and
theoretical underpinning that can guide future research efforts on
similar cases and a concluding chapter draws major conclusions and
implications for related concepts and theories.
