dc.description.abstract | This study seeks to investigate the effects of resource conflicts on sustainable development in
DRC.Itaims at understanding sustainable development in the context of resource conflict and
the role played by the different actors in exploitation of these natural resources. The study
looks at the historical overview of the conflict in DRC especially the contributions of the
regimes that have exercised their control over the region from 1998 to 2010.It uses the greed
versus grievance theory as the analytical tool for the study. Hence the study supports the
notion that abundance in natural resources combined with weak governance fuels conflicts in
resource rich Eastern DRC. The study reaches a number of conclusions. Among them is the
fact that resource conflict in eastern DRC is one of the several destabilizing phenomena
commonly cited as defining many of the conflicts in the Great Lakes region hence
unsustainable development in the region. The study, while recognizing the existing
methodologies and practices that have been used to solve conflicts in Eastern Congo,
suggests that other corresponding ideas like sustainable development should be developed
and utilized. This will ensure that resource based conflicts in eastern DRC are eradicated and
the future of the generations to come is insured. | en |
