Geographical Approaches to Environmental Peacebuilding

Environmental Peacebuilding is an emerging field for research and practice that explores the potential of nature's mutual use for fostering peace. This book offers insights into theoretical inquiries, empirical studies, and future research directions from a geographical standpoint. The editors have curated numerous works from four continents, presenting both classic and innovative approaches to Environmental Peacebuilding. Case studies encompass intra-state peacebuilding endeavors like GeoParks, issues of environmental degradation, and post-civil war reconstruction through mining or agricultural resources. The theoretical introduction delves into the understanding of "nature" and "peace" setting the stage for future research and practical applications.
