"We're all familiar with conflicts over territory in places like Tibet and Kashmir, but Brahma Chellaney persuasively argues that the most precious resource in these disputes is not land, but water. In a world where nearly one billion people lack access to clean water, Chellaney shows how today's economic growth could lead to tomorrow's 'water wars.' With his policy prescriptions, he also gives us a way to stop these conflicts before they begin. This is a vital book for anybody interested in diplomacy and conflict in the twenty-first century."--Stanley A. Weiss, founding chairman, Business Executives for National Security
"The dominant conflict in geopolitics in this century is the scramble for energy, raw materials, and water. Brahma Chellaney is the first to publish an in-depth analysis of potential challenges and conflicts resulting from the scarcity of water in Asia. His book is particularly important to understand the impact and indeed risks in an era of a growing tendency, which one meanwhile can call resource imperialism."--Friedbert Pflüger, director, European Centre for Energy and Resource Security, King's College London
"This is a well-written, thoroughly researched, and carefully analyzed book on a crucial subject matter. It is impressive for the richness and depth of the chapters, the interdisciplinary nature of the project and the marrying of materials from geopolitics, environmental studies, and geology. It contains a wealth of information on the complex dynamics involving water in the current and emerging Asian political and economic landscape. The book shows Chellaney's thorough knowledge of the region, its intricacies, and its long history of connectivity in terms of water sharing."--T.V. Paul, James McGill Professor of International Relations, McGill University --press.georgetown.edu/book/georgetown/water
Ranging widely across the region, this forcefully written study warns of a growing risk of interstate conflicts over water. The only way to avoid such outcomes, Chellaney argues, is to adopt a cooperative, rules-based approach to water management -- a hard sell for sovereign states. -- Foreign Affairs --foreignaffairs.com/articles/136573/brahma-chellaney/water-asias-new-battleground
This well-researched volume is a fascinating blend of geography, hydrology and politics, and Chellaney's statistics make convincing arguments ... This prescriptive volume is a sobering read for those of us residing in Asia, and the weight of its message certainly deserves urgent and widespread attention. -- Loh Su Hsing, Asian Review of Books

Mr. Chellaney argues convincingly that there is a past record of Beijing making benign noises but then turning around to implement highly self-interested policies ... This book's great strength is the sheer quantity of data it brings together. -- Wall Street Journal

Chellaney has crafted a formidable interdisciplinary book. He has done readers a great service in tracking down reams of scholarly information, beautifully knit together, covering a dazzling range of countries and disciples, from Bangladesh to Mongolia, climate change science to regional security doctrine. Despite the vast scope of the book, the writing is clear and lively. -- Christina Larson, Washington Monthly, March/April 2012.
