ENVIRONMENTAL CONFLICT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
INSTRUCTOR - Pam Wright
DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to assist students in understanding the nature of environmental conflict and
the role of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques in resolving environmental disputes.
The course will examine theoretical aspects of conflict and dispute resolution in natural resource
management and will be practically oriented such that students develop skills in determining: when
alternative dispute resolution is appropriate; designing a process for dispute resolution; evaluating
the success of the process; and participating in the process.
A
l
jjIj
Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:
• analyze the theoretical basis of natural resource conflicts
• examine the role of dispute resolution within the larger framework of shared decision-
making, consensus building techniques, and multi-stakeholder working groups
• identify the appropriate application of dispute resolution techniques
• design a process for environmental dispute resolution
• develop a framework for evaluating the success of dispute resolution efforts
FORMAT
The format of the class will consist of three main parts: discussion of readings, skills practicums,
and application of theory and skills to actual cases. Roughly half of class time will be used in skills
practicums. A number of guest speakers will provide insight into specific environmental disputes
in B.C. as well as discuss the incorporation of alternative dispute resolution with other resource
management practices and processes.
ASSUMPTIONS
Since this course addresses the topic of shared decision-making, you will be expected to play an
active role in consensus decision-making (under the framework of the course objectives) about
course progress, activities, and evaluation. Class participants will be responsible for making
consensus recommendations to the course facilitator. Successful completion of the class will be
dependent on the groups ability to come to consensus decisions.
Additionally, as this class is designed to have a substantial practical skill component and since the
recognized way of developing these skills is through role playing -- students will be expected to be
active and interested participants in these processes.
GRADES
Grades will be assigned based on contributions to class discussions, cases prepared and
practicums. Details of all class assignments will be distributed within the first two weeks of class.
0
• 1. ADR Management Exercise: Students will examine and propose methods by which resource
management agencies or organizations have or could incorporate elements of ADR into everyday
resource management decision making whether involving internal or external stakeholders. The
class will coordinate these individual assignments so that each student's component can be
combined as chapters into a larger booklet [20%].
2.
Major Case: Students will be responsible for analyzing, writing, and presenting one live case on
citizen participation in a B.C. ADR process. While full details will be presented in class, this
assignment will require students to interview citizen participants as well as process
coordinators/conveners. This material will be used to develop a case book/training protocol for
citizen participants. Details are being finalized with the client organization for this material.
Students will be expected to relate the applied material to the theoretical information discussed or
read for class. Portions of this assignment will be due throughout class. A draft and final written
paper as well as a presentation to the client will be required [4001b].
3.
Practicums: The practicum portion of the course will provide students with an opportunity to
practice, demonstrate, and be critiqued on the application of dispute resolution skills. Critiquing
and evaluation will be conducted by both the instructor as well as student participants in the
practicums. Students should expect to actively and creatively participate in a variety of simulations
including role playing in order to practice skills [40%].

?
QA
, O
ck?
In response to Ralph Stanton's assessment of library requirements for MRM 643 I have
examined the materials and made some revisions (see attached revised bibho
the four books noted as absent from the catalogue, three have been removed
?
bot, ?
°
Coot-ce
Goldfarb and Cormick) and been replaced with more current or Canadian c4itent (see,
Dorcey, BCRTEE 1994 and 1991). The fourth book, Breaking the Impasse (Susskind and
. ?
Cruikshank), is currently in the library (1987 edition). If a later edition is available it
could be purchased as this is a fairly useful book.
Of the serials not in the collection, very few have regular articles revolving around this
issue that are relevant to the topic. I would not suggest purchasing any of these, in
particular the Columbia Journal of Environmental Law, as the few relevant articles could
be put in a CanCopy package. Serials that regularly contain useful material, Natural
Resources Journal, Policy Studies Journal, and Journal of Environmental Management
are available at SF0.
I have revised the bibliography to reflect these changes and hope this memo answers any
questions that may arise.

Please find enclosed the final changes to the calendar entry for the School of Resource and
Environmental Management. The FAS GSC previously approved the attached package of
. ?
calendar changes dated 3 October 1994. We have recently made changes on page 3 of our earlier
submission.
You may recall that the changes that we submitted to you in October were withdrawn just
before they reached Senate in December. This was in part because of a potential change in our
faculty, which has now been finalized. Marion McGinn suggested that rather than
re-submit everything, we should just re-submit the section that we recently revised, which was on
page 3 of our material dated October 1994. The attached page shows this revision.
The Senate Graduate Studies Committee will be meeting on Monday, March 20 and we
would like these changes to be included on their agenda. Could you please schedule a meeting of
the FAS Graduate Studies Committee as early as possible so that we can have these changes
approved?
Thank you very much.

Chan
g
e:
Replace old description of the graduate program on page 275 with a
slightly reorganized version.
The page numbers below refer to the pages in the current SFU
Calendar (1994-95).
Rationale:
The new wording is organized better and makes our points more clearly.
There is no substantial change otherwise.
The School of Resource and Environmental Management oilers an infe;ds-
cipilnary graduate program in the Faculty of Applied Sciences that leads to a
professional Masters level degree in resource management (MRM degree).
Under certain circumstances, doctoral programs may also be set up under
special arrangements. Post-doctoral positions are also available. The school is
designed for individuals with experience in private organizations or public
agencies dealing with natural resources and the envtronmcnt, or for recent
graduates invarious disciplines related
10
natural resources. From time to time,
courses are scheduled in the evening or week-long blocks to permit students
to complete courses on a part-time basis.
Effective management of natural resouces and the environment requires
interdisciplinary skills as well as expertise in appropriate specialties. problems
in the management of forest, fisheries, energy. wildlife, mineral, water, tourism
and agricultural resources arc intensifying as compeng demands increase.
Expertise in traditional resource disciplines is currently needed and will con-
tinue to be in demand. But such experts are more etecUve managers If their
experience and background could be supplemented by an exposure to several
disciplines involved in resource problems.
The purpose of the school is to meet this need for deeper and broader
graduate training in natural resources. It is intended for individuals with
undergraduate training and experience in fields such as biology, engineering.
forestry and geoloy as well as business administration, economics, geogra-
phy. planning and other social sciences. Students lake an integrated sequence
of courses in complementary fields, take further courses in their area of
specialization and do a research project on a topic involving more than one
traditional discipline. The aim is to give students increased familiari
t
y and
competence in understanding the natural dynamics of resources, strategies
and techniques of natural resource planning and management, and the
biological, physical, social, economic and institutional implications
of resource
decisions. Students also become familiar with various quantitative methods of
analysis and aids to decision-making. This integrated, interdisciplinary empha-
sis has been part of the school since its inception in 1979.
Overview
In the field of natural resources, In particular, it Is important that an academic
program stress problem-solving and critical thinking rather than locus primarily
on subject mailer such as rheries, economics or wildlife biology. To;hls end,
the methods of
integrating and synthesizing specialist approaches are stressed
in the school.
Research by faculty and students is intended to evaluate the effectiveness of
existing natural resource management policies arid to develop new strategies
where appropriate. These strategies often emerge from research into the
biological dynamics
of
natural resources,
of
the Institutional, social, economic
or public policy aspects of their management. Researchers apply a range of
approaches including cost-benefit analysis, simulation modelling, legal and
institutional assessment frameworks, and social surveys to address critical and
emerging natural resource management issues. The School of Resource and
Environmental Management is primarily staffed by faculty who have a lull limo
appointment. The courses, therefore, are designed specifically for resource
and environmental management students. This full lime facul
t
y complement
provides a strong focus and integration which significantly enhances he
educational experience for graduate students. Considerable research i
in direct collaboration with resource management agencies to ensure
menaiion of research results.
The School of Resource and Environmental Management (formerly the Natural Resource
Management Program) offers interdisciplinary graduate programs in resource and environmental
management. The School grants three degrees: a masters degree (MRM) in resource management, a
combined Masters degree in resource management and business administration (in cooperation with the
Faculty of Business Administration), and a Ph.D. degree in resource and environmental management.
These degrees are designed for recent graduates from a range of disciplines and individuals with
experience in private organizations or public agencies dealing with natural resources and the
environment. Relevant disciplines of undergraduate training or experience include fields such as
biology, engineering, chemistry, forestry, and geology, as well as business administration, economics,
geography, planning and a variety of social sciences. The graduate programs provide training for
professional careers in private or public organizations and preparation for further training for research
and academic careers. Some courses are scheduled in the evening or week-long blocks to allow working
/0.
2
. professionals to complete the program on a part-time basis. An optional co-operative education program
permits students to work in a private organization or a resource management agency to gain first-hand
experience.
The study and resolution of resource and environmental problems increasingly demand the type of
applied interdisciplinary analysis that is the focus of the School of Resource and Environmental
Management. Effective management of natural resources and the environment requires interdisciplinary
skills and an appreciation of the principles and research findings in several fields as well as expertise in
appropriate specialties. While proficiency in traditional resource disciplines will continue to be
demanded, resource managers can be more effective and productive if such training is supplemented by
focused attention on complementary disciplines.
The School of Resource and Environmental Management is designed to meet this need, for
interdisciplinary research and training. Students take an integrated sequence of courses in
complementary fields, pursue further courses in their area of specialization in the School and throughout
the university, and complete a research project on a topic involving more than one traditional discipline.
The aim is to give students increased familiarity and competence in understanding the dynamics of
natural resources, the strategies and techniques of natural resource and environmental planning and
management, and the biological, physical, social, economic and institutional implications of resource
decisions. Students also become familiar with various quantitative methods of analysis and aids to
decision making. In the field of natural resources, in particular, it is important that an academic program
stress problem-solving as well as creative and critical thinking skills rather than focus primarily on subject
matter such as fisheries, economics, or forestry. To this end, the methods of integrating and
synthesizing specialist approaches are stressed in the School.
. The School of Resource and Environmental Management is primarily staffed by faculty who have a
full-time appointment, unlike similar programs at most other universities. The courses, therefore, are
designed specifically for resource and environmental management students. This full-time faculty
complement provides a strong focus and integration that significantly enhances the educational
experience for graduate students.
Research by faculty and students is intended to evaluate the effectiveness of existing natural
resource management policies and where appropriate to develop alternatives. Innovative strategies
often emerge from research into the biological dynamics of natural resources, or the institutional, social,
economic or public policy aspects of their management. The emphasis in course materials and in the
research programs of the School is not simply to identify and describe resource and environmental
problems, but to better understand their causes and design acceptable solutions. Researchers apply a
range of approaches including cost-benefit analysis, simulation modelling, legal and institutional
assessment frameworks, and social surveys to address critical and emerging natural resource
management issues on local, national, and international scales. Considerable research is done in direct
collaboration with resource management agencies to facilitate implementation of research results.
A strong demand exists for graduates from the School of Resource and Environmental
Management and this is forecasted to increase with the growing national and international interest in
resource and environmental issues. Many graduates pursue further academic goals in leading doctoral
programs. Graduates have been very successful in obtaining responsible management and research
positions in public and private sector agencies and in obtaining academic appointments.

Rationale:
This
section was out
of sequence previously.
Cooperative Education
REM's graduate Co-operative Education (Co-op) Program allows students to work in a governmental or
private resource management organization to gain professional experience in applied problem solving.
Resource Management Co-op students, because of their background, bring high-level skills to their
positions. Participation in the Co-op program is optional but in many cases this type of professional
employment can lead directly to a MRM 699 Research Project and to employment following graduation.
3. Chan g e:
Add
this section on Tourism
under
the new Cooperative Education
section.
Rationale:
This section was
unintentionally
omitted previously.
Tourism Research
In keeping with its multidisciplinary character, the School of Resource and Environmental Management
plays a leading role in the operation of Simon Fraser University's Centre for Tourism Policy and
Research. As an arm of the University, the Centre undertakes research, professional development
seminars and workshops, and conducts planning and marketing research projects for public and private
sector tourism organizations.

Change: On
p. 276 the
heading "Masters
Program" should have added to it:
"(MRM
Degree)"
Rationale:
This will
distinguish
the section from the one on the Joint
MRM/MBA
degree
5. Change
the list of Re q
uired Courses for MRM Degree as follows:
(a) Chan g
e: Modify title of MRM 631-5 (See section #8 below)
Old: Applied Geomorphology and Hydrology to
New: River Basin Analysis, Planning, and Management
Rationale: The content of the course remains almost unchanged (see section
#8 below) but the new title more accurately reflects the course's contents.
(b) Chan g
e: Remove MRM 6415, Law and Resources
Rationale: REM faculty decided that this course is no longer necessary for all
REM students, but it will likely remain a popular elective.
(c) Chan g
e: Add to the list of required courses for the MRM degree MRM 801-5,
Principles of Research Methods and Design in Resource and Environmental
