Most major rivers, our principal sources of freshwater, cross national boundaries. Their sustainable management is both vital and challenging. Why do efforts to manage international rivers succeed in some cases and fail in others? The author argues that an understanding of the politics of river management is essential. Based on a coherent analytical framework that draws on theories of political economy and international relations, this study systematically compares five cases of international river management. This comparison produces generalizable insights into the determinants of success and failure. It also generates important lessons on how to manage transboundary rivers more effectively. By offering both theoretical insights and practical solutions to international rivers problems, the book appeals to a variety of readers, including students of international politics, practitioners, and those interested in water issues and international environmental problems in general.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Marty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3906765776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783906765778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Frank Marty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450148860159,"sku":"9783906765778","price":176.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d948a8b-c405-4cac-a291-62df4035d040.jpg?v=1777266421","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/managing-international-rivers-frank-marty-9783906765778","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
