Inhabitants of poor, rural areas in the Global South heavily depend
on natural resources in their immediate vicinity. Conflicts over
and exploitation of these resources - whether it is water, fish,
wood fuel, minerals, or land - severely affect their livelihoods.
The contributors to this volume leave behind the polarised debate,
previously surrounding the relationship between natural resources
and conflict, preferring a more nuanced approach that allows for
multiple causes at various levels. The contributions cover a wide
array of resources, geographical contexts (Africa, Asia and Latin
America), and conflict dynamics. Most are of a comparative nature,
exploring experiences of conflict as well as cooperation in
multiple regions. This volume finds its origin in an innovative
research programme with the acronym CoCooN, steered by The
Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO/WOTRO) and
involving universities and civil society partners in many
countries. It presents the conceptual approaches adhered to by each
of seven interdisciplinary projects, ranging from green criminology
and political ecology to institutional analysis, legal pluralism
and identity politics. The volume will be of interest to academics
and practitioners concerned with an understanding of conflict as
well as cooperation over natural resources.
