Overview

Focusing on the Tigris-Euphrates basin, which is shared by Iraq, Syria and Turkey, Professor Elver explores the transnational arrangements among these three countries for the allocation of river resources. She clearly exposes the potential for conflict, and sets forth the role that international law can play in resolving such conflict and protecting the human rights of local populations. By deriving essential principles from this representative hydro-political case study, this book exemplifies a profound awareness of a problem that poses a serious threat to the future of international relations, and leads the way to an early and workable solution.
