Bridges over Water places the study of transboundary water conflicts, negotiation, and cooperation in the context of various disciplines, such as international relations, international law, international negotiations, and economics. It demonstrates their application, using various quantitative approaches, such as river basin modeling, quantitative negotiation theory, and game theory. Case-studies of particular transboundary river basins, lakes, and aquifers are also considered.This second edition updates the literature on international water and in-depth analyses on political developments and cooperation between riparian states. With an appended chapter on principles and practices of negotiation, and a new case study on the La Plata Basin, this edition is a timely update to the field of transboundary water studies.

Reviews

"The detailed case studies of four major Asian river basins are thoughtful and thorough. With coverage of the Mekong, Ganges, and Indus River Basins, and the Aral Sea Basin, the reader appreciates the repeated applicability of this book's conceptual foundations. -- American Journal of Agricultural Economics ""American Journal of Agricultural Economics"" This volume offers a unique approach to train people to understand that shared water resources management is not an area where quick fixes work. In addition to serious investments in politics and finance, it needs people who are appropriately trained to deal with the complexity of issues that require interdisciplinary minds and solutions. -- Professor Andr s Szollosi-Nagy ""Rector, UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands"""
