This collection represents the proceedings of the International Boundaries Research Unit's Third International Conference, The Peaceful Management of Transboundary Resources, held in Durham, UK, in April 1994. Four types of resource are considered: hydrocarbons and minerals, fisheries, shared water resources, and the natural environment. Contributions from legal, diplomatic and technical experts covering a wide range of case studies from around the world examine the problems faced by governments and institutions and suggest ways in which progress can be made in this critical area.
