Description:Tensions between states sharing international watercourses and lakes have the potential to be a serious source of conflict in the 21st century. Newly emerging challenges - from population growth and climate change to infrastructure development and migration movements - increasingly put water resources and their riparian states and communities at risk, increasing the possibility for disagreements and conflicts. To manage shared water resources cooperatively and to address potential disagreements in a peaceful and long-term manner, states in many transboundary basins have created River Basin Organizations (RBOs) that provide the legal and institutional framework for cooperation.This book addresses RBOs' role in water diplomacy and conflict management in the broader context of cooperation over shared water resources. Through a theoretical framework, global overview and numerous case studies, it examines what role RBOs can and have played in addressing disagreements and conflicts and which approaches, tools and processes they have used in doing so.It contributes not only to the academic discourse on transboundary water management and water conflict and cooperation, but also provides insights to policy-makers on which water diplomacy engagements can be successful and which pitfalls need to be avoided to ensure that shared water resources are managed in a cooperative way that contributes to regional stability.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
