This paper addresses the nature of environmental and resource conflicts, highlighting the heterogeneity of conflict types subsumed under this category. It identifies different forms of such conflicts, suggests ways of categorizing them according to the concepts "resource curse," "local resource scarcity" and "hot spots" and provides examples of each. The author argues that it is difficult to find the right balance between politics and ecology, but this is essential to responding adequately to so-called environmental conflict.
