Environmental Disputes. What do we mean when we talk about an “environmental dispute”? In the literature on mediation and environmental dispute resolution we find a number of different definitions. Xxxxx defines environmental disputes as “...tensions, disagreements, altercations, debates, competitions, contests, conflicts, or fights over some element of the natural environment.”1 Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx define “environmental conflict” as arising “...when one or more parties involved in a decision making process disagree about an action which has potential to have an impact upon the environment.”2 Xxxxxxxx refers to environmental disputes as “...disagreements among stakeholders in a range of public disputes which involve environmental quality or natural resource management.”3 Xxxxxxx, in her review of a ‘decade of experience’ in resolving environmental disputes, does not define “environmental dispute” but categorises the disputes reviewed into six broad categories: land use, natural resource management and use of public lands, water resources, energy, air quality and toxics, which she further subdivides into ‘site-specific’ and general policy categories.4 For our purposes we shall limit the scope of both “environmental” and “dispute”, so as to more clearly define our research focus.

Our focus will be more specific, in part due to the more specific definition of environmental dispute in the Indonesian Environmental Management Xxx 0000, which limits itself to disputes relating to the incidence or suspected 1 Xxxxx, "The Practice of Cooperative Environmental Conflict Resolution in Developing Countries," p162. 2 X Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, "Introduction," in Mediating Environmental Conflicts : Theory and Practice, ed.
