Livelihoods, Natural Resources, and Post-Conflict Peacebuildin
Edited by Helen Young, Lisa Goldman
Sustaining and strengthening local livelihoods is one of the most fundamental challenges faced by post-conflict countries. By degrading the natural resources that are essential to livelihoods and by significantly hindering access to those resources, conflict can wreak havoc on the ability of war-torn populations to survive and recover. This book explores how natural resource management initiatives in more than twenty countries and territories have supported livelihoods and facilitated post-conflict peacebuilding.

Constitutions and the Commons
The Impact of Federal Governance on Local, National, and Global Resource Management
By Blake Hudson
This book looks at a critical but little examined issue of the degree to which the federal constitution of a nation contributes toward or limits the ability of the national government to manage its natural resources (or commons). Furthermore it considers how far the constitution facilitates the binding of constituent states or subnational units to honor the conditions of international environmental treaties.

The Broken Promise of Agricultural Progress
An Environmental History
By Cameron Muir
Food and the global agricultural system has become one of the defining public concerns of the twenty-first century. This book examines the ecological disorder and inequity at the heart of our food system. It tells the story of how the development of modern agriculture promised ecological and social stability but instead descended into dysfunction. Contributing to knowledge in environmental, cultural and agricultural histories, it explores how people have tried to live in the aftermath of 'ecological imperialism'.
