Geografia política da água
Este livro apresenta uma importante reflexão sobre a situação da governança global da água. Discute os aspectos relacionados com a geopolítica da água, o potencial quadro de crise da água, que está cada vez mais próximo, e os esforços da sociedade planetária em estabelecer metas, além do fato de os parcos resultados até agora obtidos serem indutores de conflitos por água. Os cenários apresentados são bastante dramáticos. O principal desafio que o livro nos apresenta é de ampliar o debate, pouco explícito ainda sobre a necessidade de refletir sobre a lógica de governança da água prevalecente. Para tanto, cabe promover de forma consistente e continuada práticas públicas e sociais que estimulem maior co-responsabilidade na gestão e uso da água, reduzindo o desperdício e estabelecendo mecanismos de controle quanto à sua mercantilização.
A ordem ambiental internacional
Problemas como poluição atmosférica, aquecimento global e conservação da diversidade biológica transpassam as fronteiras de países. A temática ambiental tem ganhado com isso contornos internacionais. Na construção de um sistema internacional multilateral que trate desses assuntos surgem idéias como segurança ambiental e desenvolvimento sustentável. Seria possível regular as ações humanas de modo a contemplar estes dois aparentes antagonismos? O autor procura responder esta questão a partir das principais convenções internacionais sobre o ambiente.
New Perspectives on Transboundary Water Governance
This book presents a novel examination of transboundary water governance, drawing on global case studies and applying new theoretical approaches. Excessive consumption and degradation of natural resources can either heighten the risks of conflicts or encourage cooperation within and among countries, and this is particularly pertinent to the governance of water. This book fills a lacuna by providing an interdisciplinary examination of transboundary water governance, presenting a range of novel and emerging theoretical approaches. Acknowledging that issues vary across different regions, the book provides a global view from South and Central America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, with the ...

The Role of Law in Transboundary River Basin Disputes
This book examines the role legal rules play in the resolution of disputes in transboundary river basins. When states fail to resolve disputes over shared water resources, many cast such failures on inadequate or ineffective legal rules. With this view in mind, this book examines the role that legal rules do, and can, play in aiding the peaceful settlement of disputes and furthering cooperation between different parties. Building on the interactional theory of law, this book formulates three analytical frameworks: the effect of norm-generating processes, the effects of water-related agreements and/or arrangements in the basins, and the effect of international water. It uses these frameworks ...
Desalination and Water Security
Desalination is to the water industry what renewables are to the electricity sector. However, unlike renewables, the former is being deployed in a quiet revolution away from public glare. This book provides a holistic view of desalination, highlighting the important role this technology can play in providing safe access to water across the globe. It describes the context for this technology to flourish in the coming decades. It discusses the pressures on freshwater resources and the key role the desalination industry plays as it moves from a good-to-have provider today to a must-have mainstream water solution in the future. The book explores the vital elements of the desalination industry, i...
Flood Risk and Community Resilience
This book details the impact of flooding on our environment, and the ways in which communities, and those that work with them, can act to manage the associated risks. Flooding is an increasingly significant environmental hazard which inflicts major costs to the economies and livelihoods of developed countries. This book explores how local communities can identify, manage, and adapt to the ever-increasing damage flooding causes. Focusing on the future role of local communities, the benefits and challenges of their involvement, and the potential areas of transformation, this book provides insights into the efficacy of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary working. Alongside research into sim...
Water Politics and the On-Paper Hydropower Boom
This book examines how the on-paper hydropower boom impacts the safe and fair access to water and energy in emerging economies. The global hydropower boom is largely made up of small hydropower plants located in emerging economies, but a lack of funding, over-ambitious planning, and corruption have halted the production of these projects. Describing this state as the ‘on-paper’ hydropower boom, this book shifts attention to the hydrosocial problems arising from hydropower projects that remain on paper. It examines how these proposed but unbuilt projects can lead to disruptions in the control and governance of water resources and increase the international dependence of emerging countries...
