LITERATURE REVIEW STRATEGIES FOR THE CONCEPT OF “ECO-VIOLENCE” IN
THE SAHEL REGION
1. Introduction
The Sahel region of Africa has increasingly become a hotspot for intergroup violence
linked to competition over scarce water resources. In response to this, the concept of
“eco-violence” emerges as a potential new analytical term that captures the intersection
between environmental degradation, water scarcity, and conflict. A comprehensive
literature review is essential to conceptualise “eco-violence,” map existing scholarship
on environmental conflict in the Sahel, and identify theoretical gaps. The review will
focus on the relationship between environmental stress, social structures, and intergroup
dynamics. Using systematic strategies, the study will gather, analyse, and synthesise
peer-reviewed literature, grey literature, policy reports, and regional case studies.
Sources will be drawn from reputable databases, the UNISA library, and prescribed e-
reserves. This process will lay the groundwork for positioning "eco-violence" within bothof use
