Integrated Water Resources Management: Concept, Research and Implementation
This book reviews the concept, contemporary research efforts and the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). The IWRM concept was established as an international guiding water management paradigm in the early 1990ies and has become a vital approach to solving the problems associated with the topic of water. The book summarizes fourteen comprehensive IWRM research projects with worldwide coverage and analyses their motivations, settings, approaches and implementation of results. Aiming to be an up-to-date interdisciplinary scientific reference, this book provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical analysis of contemporary IWRM research, examples of science based implementations and a synthesis of the lessons learnt. It concludes with some major future challenges, the solving of which will further strengthen the IWRM concept.
Complexity of Transboundary Water Conflicts
‘Complexity of Transboundary Water Conflicts’ seeks to understand transboundary water issues as complex systems with contingent conditions and possibilities. To address those conditions and leverage the possibilities it introduces the concept of enabling conditions as a pragmatic way to identify and act on the emergent possibilities to resolve transboundary water issues. Based on this theoretical frame, the book applies the ideas and tools from complexity science, contingency and enabling conditions to account for events in the formulation of treaties/agreements between disputing riparian states in river basins across the world (Indus, Jordan, Nile, Ganges, Brahmaputra, Colorado, Danube, Senegal and Zayandehrud). It also includes a section with scholars’ reflections on the relevance and weakness of the theoretical framework.

River Basin Organizations in Water Diplomacy
Will tensions and disputes among states sharing international water courses and lakes turn into active conflicts? Addressing this question, the book shows that these concerns are more prominent due to the locations and underlying political dynamics of some of these large rivers and the strategic interests of major powers. Written by a combination of leading practitioners and academics, this book shows that states are more prone to cooperate and manage their transboundary issues over the use of their common water resources through peaceful means, and the key institutions they employ are international river basin organizations (RBOs). Far from being mere technical institutions, RBOs are key me...

Öffentliche Wirtschaft
Eine Paradoxie: Öffentliches Wirtschaften als existenziell wichtige Daseinsvorsorge ist real von großer Bedeutung, wird aber in der Wirtschaftswissenschaft weitgehend marginalisiert, wohl, weil sie im Vergleich zu Marktlösungen als ineffizient gilt. Das vorliegende Handbuch ist multidisziplinär angelegt und bietet entgegen ideologischer Apriori-Stereotypik differenzierte Einsichten in Theorie und Praxis öffentlichen Wirtschaftens. Das Handbuch hat in der Literaturlandschaft Alleinstellungsstatus. Disziplinäre Zugänge aus Geschichtswissenschaft, Wirtschaftswissenschaft (Volks- wie Betriebswirtschaftslehre), Rechtswissenschaft, Sozialwissenschaft einerseits und sektorale Kapitel in Bezu...
