Call for Papers – Special Issue on “Natural Resources Management and Conflicts in the Context of Sustainability Transformation”



In the quest for economic development in a sustainability frame, natural resources emerge as a vital locus to promote wealth, equality, and political and social stability, especially where resource scarcity is a particularly pressing issue. In such settings, conflicts between users, sectors or whole countries hamper attempts to utilize the full potential of natural resources as a key element for sustainable development. The study of conflicts encompasses a multitude of conceptions grounded within a wide array of disciplines, epistemological assumptions and schools of thought. As a result, approaches tackling conflict are diverse and often contradict one another.

 

This special issue welcomes contribution that disentangle the multiple links between conflict, natural resources and sustainability transformations. It calls for both conceptual contributions and empirical approaches.
