This co-edited volume provides a unified scholarly treatment of
intensifying debates on the relationship between water scarcity and
environmental security in Central Eurasia. Using discussions of
sustainable rural development as its conceptual backdrop, the
chapters in this volume combine solid empirical investigation with
critical analysis of key concepts such as 'scarcity', 'expert
knowledge', and 'efficiency'. The central theme emerging from the
contributions emphasizes the need to reevaluate accepted wisdom in
resource studies that considers distributional conflicts over water
usage as inherently zero-sum outcomes in which one player's gains
inevitably correspond to another player's losses. Instead, the
empirical and critical analyses in this book demonstrate that
effective management of water resources can be re-conceptualized as
the basis for regional cooperation and sustainable rural
development.
