摘要：This paper investigated conflicts in participatory protectedareas management in Benin to better understand theirdynamics. This review paper is based on four articleswritten from three case-studies of conflicts that emerged andevolved in participatory protected areas management in Benin and areview of literature on the issue of conflicts in participatoryprocesses, particularly in natural resources management. Theobjective of the case-studies was to understand why and howconflicts emerge and evolve in negotiation among the stakeholdersinvolved in the participatory management of protected areas inBenin. Three cases were studied where participatory protected areasmanagement started with cooperation and shifted into conflictsamong the stakeholders involved. In each case-study, frame analysiswas used to investigate how stakeholders involved built cooperationat the start of the process and why and how conflicts emerged andevolved. Building upon the results of the individual case-studies andthe comparative analysis conducted in a fourth paper, this paperidentifies the cross-cutting conclusions and themes about theemergence and escalation of conflict in participatory processes.Subsequently, the paper discusses the practical implications forparticipatory and community-based natural resources management.The paper ends with the overall conclusion on conflict emergenceand evolution in participatory natural resources management,including a reflection on the usefulness of a frame analysis forunderstanding conflict dynamics in participatory processes.
