Drivers of conflict over customary land in the Middle Drâa Valley of Morocco
The role of project components for the acceptance of an inner city river restoration project in Bad Bergzabern, Germany
The poor conditions of rivers worldwide make restoration an issue of great importance and urgency. The acceptance of restoration by society is crucial, however, the factors determining such acceptance are still poorly understood. In particular, the understanding of the complex interplay between the acceptance or rejection of specific project components and the acceptance of the overall project require further exploration. To address this research…
A local to global perspective on oil and wind exploitation, resource governance and conflict in Northern Kenya
In north-western Kenya, significant oil reserves have been discovered and the first oil trucks have left Turkana County in June 2018. On the east side of Lake Turkana, the largest wind power project on the African continent was completed in mid-2017. This article applies a local to global perspective to explore the benefits and externalities for the local communities living in close proximity to the oil and wind exploitation sites. A particular f…
A local to global perspective on resource governance and conflict
This article serves as an introduction to the special issue 'A Local to Global Perspective on Resource Governance and Conflict'. It advances the debate on natural resource governance and conflict by bringing together three different strands of literature with the aim of developing a local to global research perspective and framework for analysis. First, this article reviews and identifies research gaps in the literatures on (1) the resource curse…
Developing risk or resilience? Effects of slum upgrading on the social contract and social cohesion in Kibera, Nairobi
In Kibera, an informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya, major development efforts are underway – namely, the Kenya Slum Upgrading Programme (Kibera Pilot), the Nairobi Railway Relocation Action Plan, and the National Youth Service-led Kibera Slum Upgrade Initiative. This paper assesses how such interventions affect the social contract and social cohesion, and hence the resilience of Kibera residents. We examine the extent to which different types of…
Climate change vulnerability, adaptation and risk perceptions at farm level in Punjab, Pakistan
All about water and land? Resource-related conflicts in East and West Africa revisited
Drought Adaptation and Coping Strategies Among the Turkana Pastoralists of Northern Kenya
This study highlights drought characteristics and the many responses to drought stresses employed by Turkana pastoralists of northwestern Kenya. Multiple data sources, including socioeconomic interviews with 302 households, focus group discussions, and informal interviews with pastoralists were used to capture various aspects of drought and drought adaptation and coping practices. Standardized precipitation index derived from long-term rainfall d…
Gender, Natural Resources, and Peacebuilding in Kenya and Nepal
For approximately the past two decades, a large and growing body of both academic and grey literature from nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) or international agencies has looked at issues of gen
On shrimp, salt and security: Livelihood risks and responses in South Bangladesh and East India
Violent climate or climate of violence? Concepts and relations with focus on Kenya and Sudan
Addressing deficits of current research on the link between climate change and violent conflict, this article aims to contribute to a more systematic understanding of the violence concept in the context of environmental change. We present a theoretical framework and potential pathways between climate change and violence and an agent-based approach to assess the interplay between capabilities and motivations for violence and the conditions for con…
On exposure, vulnerability and violence: Spatial distribution of risk factors for climate change and violent conflict across Kenya and Uganda
Climate resilience in fragile and conflict-affected societies: Concepts and Approaches
To understand resilience to climate and environmental changes in fragile and conflict-affected societies is particularly important but equally challenging. In this paper, we first develop a conceptual framework to explore the climate-fragility-conflict and climate-resilience-peace nexus. Second, we discuss approaches to promote pathways from climatic changes to peace. We draw on the relevant literature and International Alert's experience in frag…
Understanding Resilience in Climate Change and Conflict Affected Regions of Nepal
In the face of global climate change, strengthening community resilience becomes increasingly important, especially in conflict affected countries with fragile governance. Nepal is such a country, recovering from a decade of civil war while facing several climate and environmental risks, including floods, droughts and landslides. We aim to contribute to the understanding of resilience building by drawing on case studies from Banke, Dang and Rolpa…
Climate Change and Violent Conflict
Current debates over the relation between climate change and conflict originate in a lack of data, as well as the complexity of pathways connecting the two phenomena.
Climate Change, Human Security and Violent Conflict: Challenges for Societal Stability
Severe droughts, damaging floods and mass migration: Climate change is becoming a focal point for security and conflict research and a challenge for the world’s governance structures. But how severe are the security risks and conflict potentials of climate change? Could global warming trigger a sequence of events leading to economic decline, social unrest and political instability? What are the causal relationships between resource scarcity and v…
Climate Change, Security Risks, and Violent Conflicts: Essays from Integrated Climate Research in Hamburg
Research on security-related aspects of climate change is an important element of climate change impact assessments. Hamburg has become a globally recognized center of pertinent analysis of the climate-conflict-nexus. The essays in this collection present a sample of the research conducted from 2009 to 2018 within an interdisciplinary cooperation of experts from Universität Hamburg and other institutions in Hamburg related to the research group "…
