Biography

James R. Lee is a Researcher in Residence, School of International Service, American University, Washington, DC, USA.

"This book is a first and authoritative attempt to lay out a top-down view describing the field of environmental conflict and cooperation. It also makes the strong case that such a field exists and will become much more important. It is a fantastic companion reader to the bottom-up work I edited, the Routledge Handbook of Environmental Conflict and Peacebuilding." –Ashok Swain, Department of Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University, Sweden
