Change, Conflict and Community
The cost to business of unresolved conflicts is high; tribunals, loss of productivity, resignations and damaged reputations are serious consequences for all concerned.With increased organizational change in the form of changes in leadership, restructuring, downsizing, matrix management, mergers, acquisitions and systems changes comes increased political activity and the potential for either increased learning and growth or tension and unproductive conflict.

Human-Wildlife Conflict : Complexity in the Marine Environment
Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) has classically been defined as a situation where wildlife impacts humans negatively (physically, economically, or psychologically), and where humans likewise negatively impact wildlife.However, there is growing consensus that the conflict between people about wildlife is as important as the conflict between people and wildlife.HWC not only affects the conservation of one species in a particular geographic area, but also impacts the willingness of an individual, a community, and wider society to support conservation programs in general.This book explores the complexity inherent in these situations, covering the theory, principles, and practical applications of HWC work, making it accessible and usable for conservation practitioners, as well as of interest to researchers more concerned with a theoretical approach to the subject.Through a series of case studies, the book's authors and editors tackle a wide variety of subjects relating to conflict, from the challenges of wicked problems and common pool resources, to the roles that storytelling and religion can play in conflict.Throughout the book, the authors work with a Conservation Conflict Transformation (CCT) approach, adapted from the peacebuilding field to address the reality of conservation today.The authors utilise one of CCT's key analytic components, the Levels of Conflict model, as a tool to provide insight into their case studies.Although the examples discussed are from the world of marine conservation, the lessons they provide are applicable to a wide variety of global conservation issues, including those in the terrestrial realm.Human-Wildlife Conflict will be essential reading for graduate students and established researchers in the field of marine conservation biology.It will also be a valuable reference for a global audience of conservation practitioners, wildlife managers, and other conservation professionals.

What is the difference between an evaluation conflict, a relationship conflict, and a distribution conflict?
An evaluation conflict arises when there are differing opinions on the quality or effectiveness of work or ideas. This type of conflict is focused on the merit of the work itself. Relationship conflicts, on the other hand, involve interpersonal tensions and issues between individuals, often unrelated to the work itself. Distribution conflicts occur when there are disagreements over the allocation of resources, such as money, time, or responsibilities. Each type of conflict requires different approaches and strategies for resolution.

What is the difference between interrole conflict and intrarole conflict?
Interrole conflict occurs when the expectations of different roles a person holds are in conflict with each other. For example, a person may experience interrole conflict when the demands of their work role conflict with the demands of their family role. On the other hand, intrarole conflict occurs when the expectations within a single role are in conflict with each other. For instance, a manager may experience intrarole conflict when they are torn between being supportive and being assertive with their team members. In summary, interrole conflict involves conflicts between different roles, while intrarole conflict involves conflicts within a single role.

What is the difference between an intrarole conflict and an interrole conflict?
Intrarole conflict occurs when an individual experiences conflicting demands within a single role, such as when a manager is torn between two equally important tasks. On the other hand, interrole conflict arises when there are conflicting demands between different roles an individual occupies, like when a person struggles to balance their responsibilities as a parent and as an employee. Essentially, intrarole conflict involves conflicts within a specific role, while interrole conflict involves conflicts between different roles.

Building Rural Community Resilience Through Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Drawing from empirical analyses, case studies, and a synthesis of best practices, this book explores how innovation manifests itself in rural places and how it contributes to entrepreneurial development and resilience.Innovation in rural places may come about as a result of new forms of collaboration; policies that leverage rural assets and address critical service or product gaps; novel strategies for accessing financial capital; infusion of arts into aspects of community life; and cultivation of networks that bridge entrepreneurs, organizations, and institutions.The chapters illustrate how a number of innovation-related characteristics relate to economic vibrancy in rural places such as a strong connection to the arts, adaptive and sustainable use of natural resources, value-chain integrated food systems, robust bridging social capital networks, creative leveraging of technology, and presence of innovation-focused entrepreneurs.Through exploration of these and other topics, this book will provide insights and best practices for rural community and economic development scholars and practitioners seeking to strengthen the rural innovation ecosystem.

Conflict-Sensitive Conservation : Lessons from the Global Environment Facility
This book provides an empirically formulated foundation for conflict-sensitive conservation, a field in which the existing literature relies primarily on anecdotal evidence. Seeking to better understand the impact of conflict on the implementation and outcomes of environmental projects, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Independent Evaluation Office and the Environmental Law Institute undertook an evaluation of GEF support to fragile and conflict-affected contexts.Following a qualitative and quantitative analysis of documents from more than 4,000 projects, the research team discovered a statistically significant negative correlation between a country’s Fragile States Index score and the implementation quality of environmental projects in that country.In this book, the evaluation and research team explain these groundbreaking findings in detail, highlighting seven key case studies: Afghanistan, Albertine Rift, Balkans, Cambodia, Colombia, Lebanon, and Mali.Drawing upon additional research and interviews with GEF project implementation staff, the volume illustrates the pathways through which conflict and fragility frequently impact environmental projects.It also examines how practitioners and sponsoring institutions can plan and implement their projects to avoid or mitigate these issues and find opportunities to promote peacebuilding through their environmental interventions. Examining data from 164 countries and territories, this innovative book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental management, conservation, international development, and the fast-growing field of environmental peacebuilding.It will also be a great resource for practitioners working in these important fields.
