Designing recordkeeping systems for transitional justice and peace: ‘On the Ground’ Experiences and Practices Relating to Organizations Supporting Conflict-Affected Peoples
Deriving Countermeasures to the Use of Housing, Land and Property Rights as a War-Financing Commodity
Efforts to thwart the trafficking of conflict commodities to finance wars constitute an ongoing endeavour. As specific approaches become effective for certain commodities, belligerent actors pursue new forms of exploitation. The trafficking of housing, land and property (HLP) rights in war zones has now reached a pervasiveness, lucrativeness and severity to warrant significant attention on the derivation of countermeasures. This article proposes …
Housing, Land and Property Rights as War-Financing Commodities: A Typology with Lessons from Darfur, Colombia and Syria
The ongoing use of landscape-based conflict commodities — diamonds and other minerals, timber, wildlife, etc. — to finance wars continues to evolve. The success with which such commodities can be transacted to support militaries, militias and insurgencies has led belligerents to innovate with additional commodities. Housing, land and property (HLP) rights within war zones have belatedly joined the list of conflict commodities that are subject to …
The Water Crisis in Yemen: Managing Extreme Water Scarcity in the Middle East
The array of critical water issues in the Middle East, from supply, quality, and equity to disputes and armed conflict, continues to aggravate governance, food security, development, and peace. “Water wars” are thought to loom significantly in the region's future, with a lack of information about the resource-institution-society nexus in particular complicating work toward viable solutions. Yemen is at the apex of the problem, combining extreme p…
A volatile interaction between peacebuilding priorities: Road infrastructure (re)construction and land rights in Afghanistan
The current approach to peacebuilding is to focus on the specific building blocks of the process. However, such attention and building blocks are to date largely isolated from each other in their planning, analysis, implementation and measures for success with regard to contributing to overall peace. While two of these, land rights and road infrastructure, are regarded separately as crucial to post-war recovery, their interaction has not yet been…
Environmental change and adaptation in degraded agro‐ecosystems: The case of highland Madagascar
While the view that the poorer agricultural populations in developing countries will be at the forefront of negative consequences due to environmental change is widely accepted, this perspective must become considerably more nuanced in order to recognise and take advantage of emerging opportunities for realistic adaptation. This paper presents a case from Madagascar that suggests adaptation opportunities involve more than looking for alternatives…
Territorial Tensions: Rainforest Conservation, Postconflict Recovery, and Land Tenure in Liberia
Since the cessation of civil conflict in 2003, the Liberian government is poised to expand greatly its protected area network to conserve the country's remaining rainforest. Liberia holds within its borders nearly half of the remaining Guinean rainforest, a global biodiversity hotspot. The planning process for this effort has been a central part of rebuilding Liberia's forestry sector, which helped fuel past conflict. The process, known as the Li…
