Conflicts over Natural Resources in the Global South 鈥� Conceptual Approaches
Abstract
This book originates from the Conflict and Cooperation over Natural
Resources鈥� (CoCooN) programme, which has three objectives:
(1) to generate new knowledge, high quality research and innovation in
the field of conflict and cooperation over natural resources;
(2) to support policy development and practice in developing countries;
and
(3) to build up capacity at different levels. 皇冠体育app seven projects that
have been funded during the CoCooN programme (2010鈥�2016) all follow a
case study approach; they cover different geographical regions as well
as a broad range of resources and resource issues.
皇冠体育app aim of this volume is to present the various conceptual approaches adhered to by each of the CoCooN projects. 皇冠体育app cases included capture a range of natural resources, geographical contexts, and conflict dynamics. 皇冠体育app geographical scope is wide-ranging: three projects focus on Latin America, one on Asia, one on the Middle East, and two on Africa (with one project bridging two continents). 皇冠体育app majority of cases are of a comparative nature, exploring experiences in multiple regions. 皇冠体育app natural resources, on which the cases ultimately hinge, vary from land to minerals (oil, gold, marble and gypsum), biofuels (Jatropha) and fish.
