The book gives a record of the outcome of Nigeria's political, religious, ethnic and other interacting forms of pluralism in relation to the scarcity of resources. It is based on original data obtained from fieldwork and prolonged involvement in conflict studies in the various ecological zones of Nigeria. The twelve essays contained in the book show how multiple users of scarce resources constantly encounter the recurrent problems of ethnicity or sub-ethnicity, as well as religious and other forms of exclusive symbolic identities and contested claims of farmers, pastoralists, fishermen and local politicians. The articles capture the dynamics of competing variables which define the character, structures and processes of conflict management, resolution and transformation, as well as peacebuilding.
