This document explores how natural resource conflicts can be managed or, in the words of the authors, constructively transformed. The authors examine three schools of dealing with conflict and compare them with an economic approach to conflict management. Drawing from lessons learned, they survey 32 environmental conflicts including one case study of the Nile basin. Key conclusions are that greater transparency of resource production and trade are needed to prevent and transform indirect use conflicts. To deal with direct use conflicts, the authors recommend greater participation of all involved stakeholders.
