Will tensions and disputes among states sharing international water
courses and lakes turn into active conflicts? Addressing this
question, the book shows that these concerns are more prominent due
to the locations and underlying political dynamics of some of these
large rivers and the strategic interests of major powers. Written
by a combination of leading practitioners and academics, this book
shows that states are more prone to cooperate and manage their
transboundary issues over the use of their common water resources
through peaceful means, and the key institutions they employ are
international river basin organizations (RBOs). Far from being mere
technical institutions, RBOs are key mechanisms of water diplomacy
with capacity and effectiveness varying on four key interrelated
factors: their legal and institutional development, and the
influence of their technical and strategic resources. The basins
analyzed span all continents, from both developed and developing
basins, including the Columbia, Great Lakes, Colorado, Senegal,
Niger, Nile, Congo, Jordan, Helmand, Aral Sea, Mekong, Danube and
Rhine. Contributing to the academic discourse on transboundary
water management and water conflict and cooperation, the book
provides insights to policy-makers on which water diplomacy
engagements can be successful, the strengths to build on and the
pitfalls to avoid so that shared water resources are managed in a
cooperative, sustainable and stable way.
