Municipal Cooperation across Conflict Divides - A Preliminary Study |
|
|
|
|
In over ten years of work in the conflict-ridden Middle East, EcoPeace/Friends of the Earth Middle East (FoEME) has witnessed progress on environmental problems between local communities and municipalities from both sides of the Israeli Palestinian conflict despite very difficult political and economic circumstances. Such progress was remarkable, especially in the light of the failure of national governments to solve pressing pollution problems during the same period.
This brief study aims to examine whether such cooperation is to be found in other conflict settings around the world, and importantly, to determine the conditions necessary for such cooperation to take place.
