"Management of Internationally Shared Rivers - Peaceful Settlement Attempts in International Rivers" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the ISA's 49th ANNUAL CONVENTION, BRIDGING MULTIPLE DIVIDES, Hilton San Francisco, SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA, Mar 26, 2008 <Not Available>. 2009-11-22 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p251390_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: As global demand for water increases but water resources become increasingly scarce, water is expected to be an important security issue and a national concern for states throughout the world. Many have already suggested that water scarcity is and will be an important source of armed conflict and some support have also been found for this. But other scholars inspired by liberal institutionalist theory with emphasis on complex interdependence and cooperation, argue that states cooperate to solve their emerging river disagreements rather than fight over them. In this paper we address this claim when we examine the management of all internationally shared rivers in the world. We use the new global data on explicit disagreements over the use of rivers ("river claims") collected thorough the ICOW project, and the settlement attempts of these claims. The central research question will be under what conditions states seek to settle their water disputes peacefully. |

"ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION OF CROSS RIVER GORILLA IN BOSHI MOUNTAIN PORTION OF THE CROSS RIVER NATIONAL PARK, NIGERIA" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the International Congress for Conservation Biology, Convention Center, Chattanooga, TN, Jul 10, 2008 <Not Available>. 2009-11-22 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p239447_index.html>Publication Type: Abstract
Abstract: - Boshi extension portion lies in the northern end of the Okwangwo Division of the Cross River National Park (CRNP), Nigeria. The area is known for harboring one of the isolated populations of Cross River gorillas Gorilla gorilla deihli in Nigeria. The area was formerly known as Boshi Extension Forest Reserve originally established as a gorilla sanctuary in 1958. It was incorporated into the Cross River National park to provide protection to the gorillas. Some years after the surveys by Ebin in 1983, and the creation of the Cross River National Park under the Decree 36 of 1991, the status of these gorillas was gradually being reassessed. Intensive hunting pressure has made the sub population in this area highly mobile and local trends in range utilization are difficult to elucidate. Studies by Oates and Nwufoh in 1990 and 1999 respectively estimated a gorilla size of 20-30 weaned individuals. The most recent sighting of gorillas in the area recorded 4 young ones in a group of ten individuals. This study looked at the ecology and the situation of habitat degradation occasioned by fire outbreak as well as the hunting status in comparison with the Park’s administration and operations. |

"The Provincial, National and Continental Reach of the Columbia River: Re-Examining the Columbia River Treaty of 1961/1964" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the ISA's 49th ANNUAL CONVENTION, BRIDGING MULTIPLE DIVIDES, Hilton San Francisco, SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA, Mar 26, 2008 <Not Available>. 2009-11-22 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p254181_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: This paper examines the debates surrounding the Columbia River Treaty, signed by Canada and the United States in 1961 and revised in 1964. The often-heated discussions about the treaty and its implications date from the late 1950s and continued long after its formal signing in 1964. This was largely a Canadian debate; American observers tended to regard the treaty’s benefits - enabling both flood control and electricity generation - as obvious and its environmental costs as minor. North of the border, the issues were more complex and public opposition to the treaty was vociferous. The treaty’s complexity as well as the convoluted nature of its negotiation have discouraged scholarly interest. My paper underlines the importance of both the treaty and the public controversy that it stimulated, a controversy that in many respects anticipated subsequent debates over energy policy, free trade, and Canadian-American relations. In hindsight, the treaty seems a significant step in the continentalization of North America. |
