This book argues that river basins represent a particular structural
setting in international relations with the potential for generating a
dynamic of cooperation among the involved countries. The volume
applies the concept of regional cooperation to international river
basins to highlight their relevance as a particular space in
international relations, emphasizing both the inter-connectivity and
transnationalism of international river basins. It addresses the
challenges related to resource distribution between up- and
down-stream countries, showcasing a variety of examples of cooperation
and conflictual relations within various international river basins.
Case studies are drawn from across the globe and include the Mekong,
the Indus, the Euphrates-Tigris and the Danube international river
basins. Each chapter outlines the different aspects which support or
undermine cooperation in each case, taking into consideration key
areas surrounding resource sharing, national development,
environmental considerations and national security. This book will be
of great interest to students and scholars with an interest in
international river basins, regional cooperation, water resource
competition, international relations and environmental politics.
