    Theoretically speaking, it could be that circumstances like Horizontal inequalities where the prevailing regime plot to keep resource-rich underdeveloped communities or regions marginalised; and that these same condition also create other domestic pressures – economic, socio-political, or increased tension of another nature – which result in heightened risk of conflict. Assuming the two events are causally linked, there is no reason why causality should run in only one direction. For example, just as resource dependence could create conflict; it may be that conflict leads to greater natural resource dependency (Ibid). Taking a longer outlook, there are several examples in history of countries which flourished as a result of natural resource exploitation, without suffering violent conflict (Namibia and South Africa etc), thus, posing more fundamental questions about the appropriateness of this type of quantitative analysis of conflict by the works of Collier & Hoeffler.…

Tragedy of the commons can be defined as an economic theory within a shared resource system where individual users act independently according to their own self-interest contrary to the common good of society by depleting or spoiling that resource. Garrett Hardin explains the tragedy of the commons through an example of herdsman with cattle on the common and each herdsman seeks to maximize their gain. With each additional cattle added to the common there is a positive (proceeds from the sale of an additional animal, +1) and a negative (overgrazing of the common, -1) component (Hardin, 1968).…

    Introduction: Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR), one of the world’s most precious marine ecosystems, has been deteriorating due to poor water quality (Kroon et al., 2016). One of the main reasons for this substantial decline in water quality over recent decades is agricultural runoff of nitrogen, pesticides/ herbicides and sediment (Figure 1). In fact, the water quality is most affected in the inshore areas in the southern and central regions near the most intensive agriculture. The impacts are biophysical in their effects on the marine animal and plants of the Reef. For example, coral cover declined about 50 percent from 1985-2013 (Brodie et al., 2013, p.2).…
