More than 200 major river basins are shared by two or more
countries and, together, these basins account for about 60% of the
earth's land area, constituting a significant portion of the
world's fresh water resources. They are thus both a significant
asset to the nations sharing them, as well as a potential source of
conflict. This book presents a generic framework for the analysis
of decision making on international river issues. It emphasises the
strategic character of the interactions between the basin states
and addresses learning and institutionalization processes, taking
account of the influence of the context on the decision making
process. The case of the river Scheldt covers negotiations on the
Belgian-Dutch water conventions covering a number of international
issues relating to the river basins of the Scheldt and the Meuse,
such as construction projects aimed at improving the maritime
access to the port of Antwerp, the maintenance of the navigation
channel in the Western Scheldt, pollution of the waters in the two
rivers, and the distribution of water from the Meuse. The final
part of the book contains a typology of strategies for the solution
of upstream-downstream problems in international river basins.
Audience: All those interested in international water and
environmental management, international negotiations and politics,
and public policy.
