Natural Resources As Drivers Of Conflicts Escalation In Africa: Water, Arable And Pastoral Lands As A Case Study
Authors : Rassouli Asma .
Abstract
This study examines natural resource conflicts and the factors contributing to their escalation in Africa, with a particular focus on conflicts over water resources, as well as arable and pastoral lands, which are widely prevalent across the continent. Drawing on a descriptive-analytical approach and a case study methodology, the study examines the phenomenon of natural resource conflict and provides an in-depth understanding of its various manifestations in relation to water, arable, and pastoral resources in Africa, through the analysis of selected applied cases. The study concludes that the variable of natural resource conflict cannot be used in isolation to explain the escalation of conflicts, as it is intertwined with a set of structural and institutional factors that contribute to the complexity and intensification of these conflicts within the African context.
