This excellent book covers the important legal and political
perspectives on the world's freshwater resources. The chapters,
written by distinguished experts from academia and practice,
systematically address issues of economics, environment,
sovereignty over resources, energy, conflict resolution, and in
addition offer some in depth case studies. A wonderful book and
compulsory reading for who needs to have the full picture of the
complex international dynamics of freshwater in our time.' -
Catherine Broelmann, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands 'In
sum, the volume is a must for all those who know and practice
international and domestic water law, who influence the
international water governance debate at the global, regional, and
sub-regional scales, and who, in general, interact with water
resources in the transboundary but also in the domestic setting of
their respective countries.' - Stefano Burchi, Chairman of the
International Association for Water Law - AIDA'International Law
and Freshwater is an outstanding piece of legal and policy
scholarship that poignantly, thoughtfully and effectively addresses
the who, what, where, when and how of international waters
governance and international law.' - Richard Kyle Paisley,
University of British Columbia, Canada The issues surrounding water
embody some of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. The
editors of this timely book have brought together the leading
authors in the field to explore the key questions involving
international law and water governance. International Law and
Freshwater connects recent legal developments through the breadth
and synergies of a multidisciplinary analysis. It addresses such
critical issues as water security, the right to water,
international cooperation and dispute resolution, State succession
to transboundary watercourse treaties, and facets of international
economic law, including trade in 'virtual water' and the impacts of
'land grabs'. Containing detailed analysis and thought-provoking
solutions, this book will appeal to researchers and academics
working in the legal field, as well as international relations and
natural sciences. Water practitioners, public officials, diplomats
and students will also find much to interest them in this
insightful study. Contributors: A.S. Al-Khasawneh, U. Alam, L.
