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*
