Students in JPST 470 Conflict Resolution, and New Tactics in Human Rights, are presenting an online dialogue on “Turning the Tables: Transforming Conflicts Related to Resource Extraction” from today through Tuesday, May 3.
The New Tactics website notes that: “Global competition for resources will be at the root of many conflicts. How can we anticipate and prevent conflicts while empowering local communities in an increasingly globalized environment? How can we turn the tables and shift the power back to the communities? How can we ensure that resource extraction benefits the community?
“Practitioners are working to create a dialogue between stakeholders involved in these conflicts. This online dialogue is an opportunity to learn more about the approaches and tactics being used by practitioners in transforming conflicts between resource-extraction industries and effected communities.”
