Hi allI am emailing regarding the Journal of Natural Resources Policy Research. This is a new journal designed to foster learning across social science disciplines regarding natural resource policy and research.
As our brochure indicates, "Our goal is to foster productive dialog among the disparate sectors in the broad field of natural resources and among various social science perspectives leading to an improved understanding of institutional and economic dynamics and informed policy making"
Please see letter from Taylor and Francis below. Feel free to contact me for more information.
Best Ben ***************************** New Journal for 2009 Dear Colleague,Introducing the <http://scientific-direct.net/c.asp?702065&080de2efb7e4e255&9>Journal of Natural Resources Policy Research starting publication in January 2009.
<http://scientific-direct.net/c.asp?702065&080de2efb7e4e255&9>Journal of Natural Resources Policy Research publishing original policy-oriented papers addressing a broad range of natural resource fields including water, minerals, energy, fisheries, and forestry in a synthesizing fashion, rather than as stand-alone specialty areas. The journal will also publish papers on the natural resource implications of climate change, natural disasters, and biodiversity loss, among others. The papers, ideally, will be based on both conceptual and empirical studies and will be primarily policy-focused.
The journal will be largely social-sciences-focused including such fields as economics, sociology, geography, political science, anthropology, public administration, ethics and other disciplines relevant to the crafting of efficient, equitable and sustainable natural resources policies. <http://scientific-direct.net/c.asp?702065&080de2efb7e4e255&10>Click here for full aims and scopes.
We are looking for papers dealing with, but not limited to, the following topics:
1. Natural resource policy broadly defined scope and dimensions 2. Holistic vs. sector-specific approach 3. Policy framework components, sequencing, linkages, integration, robustness 4. Conceptual/theoretical paradigms rationale and evolutionary perspectives 5. Country studies, case studies, case histories, survey papers 6. Natural resource policy modelling 7. Natural resource institutions design and implementation8. Natural resource policy crafting ownership, allocation, planning, development, markets and pricing, conservation 9. Natural resources and political externalities; public choice and rent-seeking
10. Natural resource use and environmental quality 11. Public-private partnership issues 12. Natural resources and institutional entropy 13. Transboundary, transnational, and transgenic resources 14. Natural resource policy - efficiency, equity, and sustainability15. Trigger issues - climate change, natural disasters, human disasters, deforestation, endangered species, invasive species, environmental pollution
Our goal is to foster productive dialog among the disparate sectors in the broad field of natural resources and among various social science perspectives leading to an improved understanding of institutional and economic dynamics and informed policy making.
We hope that you will consider <http://scientific-direct.net/c.asp?702065&080de2efb7e4e255&9>Journal of Natural Resources Policy Research as a future publication to showcase your work and research.

Thoughts on Journal of Natural Resources Policy Research:"What a wonderful idea for a policy journal addressing natural resources...I wish you success in launching the Journal." - Joanne Linnerooth-Bayer, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Austria
"I share your belief that there is a need for a policy-focused interdisciplinary journal that cuts across natural resource management/problem domains. This is an exciting project likely to be of wide interest."
- Steven A. Wolf, Cornell University, New York, USA "The approach you have defined for the journal is badl! y needed in the field." - Harry N. Scheiber, UC Berkeley, California, USA ----------You have received this e-mail in the genuine belief that its contents would be of interest to you.
