Review: This paper explores the gender dimensions of the complex relationships within the development paradgrim that contribute to environmental mismanagement and vulnerability to disasters. While the link between natural disasters and environmental degradation is well established, now there is growing evidence that many conflicts - so far mainly intrastate ones, are the result of environmental resource mismanagement. The paper makes the case that Gender is at the core of our social and economic institutions, and therefore crucial in producing the results we observe.
