Summary: A nice book for those dealing with prolonged conflicts
Comment: I think this is one of the rare books that thoroughly discusses various aspects and dimensions of environmental conflict. The book starts with a clear conceptual framework to be used in analysing cases in later chapters. I think that for those who are "beginner" or who are about to begin a study on environmental conflict this book will be very useful. It gives some methodological directions although limited to a certain way of looking at conflict issues. Nonetheless the methodological overview is very useful.
On the other hand, the book itself would have much better if the authors also analyse some important aspects on environemntal conflict. One of the missing studies is relating to question why environemntal conflict get intensified? What factors contribute to it? While the bood discusses the intractability in the sense that it only looks at a prolonged conflicts and those that elude resolution. However, some questions remain unanswered. For instance, why in some cases intractable conflict get intensified and why others remain low in intensity? What factors and conditions explain these differences?
Finally, I recommend that scholars and students working with conflict related issues to go through this book. All the best!
