Water Resource Conflicts and International Security: A Global
Perspective is an edited collection by Dhirendra K. Vajpeyi which
analyzes the increasing global demand for water in economic and
social development, and the dire need to efficiently manage this
vital natural resource, particularly in water-scarce countries in
the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Several environmental- and
human-induced factors, such as urbanization, industrialization,
climate change, and agricultural needs, have created a near-crisis
situation in many countries. Subsequently, there is an increasingly
intense competition to utilize available water resources in these
most heavily-affected regions; transboundary rivers, lakes, and
streams which are shared by more than one country pose potential
for political conflict, armed conflict, and, in the best of cases,
cooperation. The contributors of Water Resource Conflicts and
International Security present ten case studies in seven chapters,
highlighting the competition between countries in Asia, Africa, and
the Middle East. In his conclusion, Dhirendra K. Vajpeyi suggests
several policy measures that governments may implement in order to
minimize the potential for conflict.
