Synopsis

There simply is no other book on the subject of shared waters that is as carefully tailored for its multiple audiences as this. Scholars will appreciate its up-to-date survey of cutting edge research (to which the authors themselves contribute regularly); policymakers will be grateful for its accessible and applied nature; and teachers and students will value the design specifically for a 13-week semester, with careful progression from the basics out to the frontiers of the field. Not only is the multidisciplinary approach effective and well-integrated, the text is also readable and thoughtful, with the supplementary material and models adding tremendous value. This second edition, enhanced as it is with coverage of important advances in governance and treaty studies, simulations and optimization, game theoretical approaches, as well as updates to the basins which are covered, keep this on the must-have list for those in the field.

About this title

From the Inside Flap

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.
