Reviews

Top scholars, selected internationally, share their opinions on this uniquely global issue by providing outstanding analysis of transboundary water resources conflicts, and suggest ways for minimizing disputes. The contributors offer imaginative perspectives and approaches, and open up an intellectual space for clear, candid, and authoritative discussion on the process of equitable sharing of such vital resources. -- O.P. Dwivedi, University of Guelph, Canada Vajpeyi and his collaborators went to some of the very places where civilization began-the Nile, Tigris and Euphrates, and the Ganges, Indus, and Brahmaputra river basins-to illustrate and analyze how this indispensable resource can affect national security and decide questions of war and peace. This timely and trailblazing compendium is destined to become a significant point of reference on a subject certain to bedevil our planet in the days to come. -- Constantine P. Danopoulos, San Jose State University This collection is unique in providing an important perspective on a resource without which mankind cannot exist. The six regional cases and theoretical frameworks on water will stand the test of time to become a seminal work and a set text for many courses. The substantive research and findings have no equal and stand no challenge for their excellence. -- Glen Segell
