Managing and Transforming Water Conflicts
"All living things need water. ... Where water crosses boundaries -- be they economic, legal, political, or cultural -- the stage is set for disputes among different users trying to safeguard access to a vital resource, while protecting the natural environment. Without strategies to anticipate, address, and mediate among competing users, intractable water conflicts are likely to become more frequent, more intense, and more disruptive around the world. In this book, Jerome Delli Priscoli and Aaron T. Wolf investigate the dynamics of water conflict and conflict resolution, from the local to the international. They explore the inexorable links among three facets of conflict management and transformation: alternative dispute resolution (ADR), public participation, and institutional capacity. This practical guide will be invaluable to water management professionals, as well as to researchers and students in engineering, economics, geography, geology, and political science who are involved in any aspect of water management."--Provided by publisher.

This Research Handbook offers crucial ethical perspectives on navigating the increasingly complex and contested landscape of contemporary energy law. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it brings together diverse scholarship and expertise from academia, international organizations, legal practice and the judiciary to address wide-ranging issues linking energy and law to ethical drivers such as wealth, peace and war, development, climate change, and use and abuse of natural resources.
