The book holistically explores issues where two entities share a border, such as sovereign countries, dependent states and others, where each seeks to maximize their political and economic interests regardless of impacts on the environment. This new edition has been completely revised to reflect current issues, with new cases and videos in every chapter and expanded coverage of natural disasters, climate change and modeling.
Serving as a single resource to explore the many facets of managing and utilizing natural resources when they extend across defined borders, this new edition provides environmental managers and researchers in environmental management and policy with practical solutions for cross-border cooperation in the exploitation and utilization of natural and environmental resources.
- Includes case studies and videos in every chapter, along with expanded coverage on key topics in cross-border management, including natural disasters, climate change and modeling
- Addresses both theoretical and practical issues in resource management across borders
- Clarifies how natural and human systems interact in cross-border areas under conditions of uncertain, imperfect information, and in some circumstances, irreversibility
- Provides various solutions for efficient cross-border management
