EDITORIAL STATEMENT There is a growing awareness to the role that natural resources such as water, land, forests and environmental amenities play in our lives. There are many competing uses for natural resources, and society is challenged to manage them for improving social well being. Furthermore, there may be dire consequences to natural resources mismanagement. Renewable resources such as water, land and the environment are linked, and decisions made with regard to one may affect the others. Policy and management of natural resources now require interdisciplinary approach including natural and social sciences to correctly address our society preferences. This series provides a collection of works containing most recent findings on economics, management and policy of renewable biological resources such as water, land, crop protection, sustainable agriculture, technology, and environmental health. It incorporates modern thinking and techniques of economics and management. Books in this series will incorporate knowledge and models of natural phenomena with economics and managerial decision frameworks to assess alternative options for managing natural resources and environment. In an era where water quantity and quality problems lead to an increased number of domestic and international conflicts, empirical experiences are quite valuable. Readers of Braving the Currents would benefit from reading this book because it provides, in addition to having a sound theoretical framework, a set of cases that altogether indicate how conflicts emerged, how tensions rose, how mediators were brought in and how the mediators designed and implemented processes that brought the conflict to some sort of resolution. Braving the Currents is likely to be very influential among those lawyers, mediators, academics and policy makers concerned with the resolution of public policy disputes generally and environmental conflicts in particular.
