Title
The upper churchill falls development negotiations
Abstract
The negotiations between Brinco and Hydro-Québec, which led to the exploitation of the hydropower potential of the Upper Churchill Falls, is analyzed within the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution framework. Immediately after the agreement was signed, several rounds of conflicts arose between the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Province of Québec. The equilibrium states of the negotiations are analyzed to understand the motivation and possible distinction for the evolved conflicts. The analysis shows strong motivation for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador to renegotiate the terms of the contract to reach a better deal which may cause further conflicts. Analysis also suggests strategies and feasible circumstances in which the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador may be able to improve its situation.
