Post-conflict peacebuilding efforts can fail if they do not pay
sufficient attention to natural resources. Natural resources -
diamonds, oil, and minerals - are frequently at the heart of
historic grievances, and have caused or funded at least eighteen
conflicts since 1990. The same resources can play a central role in
post-conflict peacebuilding, providing revenue for cash-starved
governments, basic services for collapsed economies, and means for
restoring livelihoods. To date, there is a striking gap in
knowledge of what works, what does not, and how to improve
peacebuilding through more effective and systematic management of
natural resources. Post-Conflict Peacebuilding and Natural Resource
Management addresses this gap by examining the growing literature
on the topic and surveying experiences across more than forty
post-conflict countries. The six-volume series includes more than
130 chapters from over 200 researchers, practitioners, and
policymakers.
This book provides an empirically formulated foundation for
conflict-sensitive conservation, a field in which the existing
literature relies primarily on anecdotal evidence. Seeking to
better understand the impact of conflict on the implementation and
outcomes of environmental projects, the Global Environment Facility
(GEF) Independent Evaluation Office and the Environmental Law
Institute undertook an evaluation of GEF support to fragile and
conflict-affected contexts. Following a qualitative and
quantitative analysis of documents from more than 4000 projects,
the research team discovered a statistically significant negative
correlation between a country’s Fragile States Index score and
the implementation quality of environmental projects in that
country. In this book, the evaluation and research team explain
these groundbreaking findings in detail, highlighting seven key
case studies: Afghanistan, Albertine Rift, Balkans, Cambodia,
Colombia, Lebanon and Mali. Drawing upon additional research and
interviews with GEF project implementation staff, the volume
illustrates the pathways through which conflict and fragility
frequently impact environmental projects. It also examines how
practitioners and sponsoring institutions can plan and implement
their projects to avoid or mitigate these issues and find
opportunities to promote peacebuilding through their environmental
interventions. Examining data from 164 countries and territories,
this innovative book will be of great interest to students and
scholars of environmental management, conservation, international
development and the fast-growing field of environmental
peacebuilding. It will also be a great resource for practitioners
working in these important fields.

When the guns are silenced, those who have survived armed conflict
need food, water, shelter, the means to earn a living, and the
promise of safety and a return to civil order. Meeting these needs
while sustaining peace requires more than simply having
governmental structures in place; it requires good governance.
Natural resources are essential to sustaining people and peace in
post-conflict countries, but governance failures often jeopardize
such efforts. This book examines the theory, practice, and often
surprising realities of post-conflict governance, natural resource
management, and peacebuilding in fifty conflict-affected countries
and territories. It includes thirty-nine chapters written by more
than seventy researchers, diplomats, military personnel, and
practitioners from governmental, intergovernmental, and
nongovernmental organizations. The book highlights the mutually
reinforcing relationship between natural resource management and
good governance. Natural resource management is crucial to
rebuilding governance and the rule of law, combating corruption,
improving transparency and accountability, engaging disenfranchised
populations, and building confidence after conflict. At the same
time, good governance is essential for ensuring that natural
resource management can meet immediate needs for post-conflict
stability and development, while simultaneously laying the
foundation for a sustainable peace. Drawing on analyses of the
close relationship between governance and natural resource
management, the book explores lessons from past conflicts and
ongoing reconstruction efforts; illustrates how those lessons may
be applied to the formulation and implementation of more effective
governance initiatives; and presents an emerging theoretical and
practical framework for policy makers, researchers, practitioners,
and students. Governance, Natural Resources, and Post-Conflict
Peacebuilding is part of a global initiative to identify and
analyze lessons in post-conflict peacebuilding and natural resource
management. The project has generated six books of case studies and
analyses, with contributions from practitioners, policy makers, and
researchers. Other books in this series address high-value
resources, land, water, livelihoods, and assessing and restoring
natural resources.

"Um sich eine klare Vorstellung von der Bildung des Skelettes der
Wirbeltiere zu machen, ist es notig, auf die Entstehung und
Eigentumlichkeit der ersten Formteile des tierischen Leibes
uberhaupt zuruckzugehen. Es muss vor allem die Tatsache
hervorgehoben und festgehalten werden, dass sich alle Organe und
Gewebe aus ursprunglich vollkommen gleichartigen und in ihren
ersten Formverhaltnissen sehr einformigen Substanzanlagen
hervorbilden." ...] Der deutsche Anatom Dr. Carl Bruch nimmt den
interessierten Leser mit auf eine Reise in die medizinische
Forschung und Wissenschaft im 19. Jahrhundert. Seine Erkenntnisse
und den Wissensstand zur Entwicklungsgeschichte des Knochensystems
legt er in dem hier vorliegenden Band dar. Dieses Buch ist ein
unveranderter Nachdruck der langst vergriffenen Originalausgabe von
1852.

This report inventories and analyses the range of international
laws that protect the environment during armed conflict. With a
view to identifying the current gaps and weaknesses in this system,
the authors examine the relevant provisions within four bodies of
international law - environmental humanitarian (IHL), international
criminal law (ICL), international environmental law (IEL), and
international human rights law (HRL). The report concludes with
twelve concrete recommendations on ways to strengthen this legal
framework and its enforcement. The Environment and Natural
Resources are crucial for building and consolidating peace, it is
urgent that their protection in times of armed conflict be
strengthened. There can be no durable peace if the natural
resources that sustain livelihoods are damaged or destroyed. This
report provides a basis upon which Member States can draw upon to
clarify, expand and enforce international law on environmental
protection in times of war.
