This collection of essays discusses the political and scientific contexts and the limitations of cooperation in water security. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contributors argue that while conflicts over transboundary water systems in the Middle East do occur, they tend not to be violent nor have they ever been the primary cause of a war in this region. The authors place water disputes in larger political, historical and scientific contexts and discuss how the humanities and social sciences could contribute more towards this understanding. They also contend that international sharing of scientific and technological advances can significantly increase access to water and improve water quality. While scientific advances can and should increase adaptability to changing environmental conditions, especially climate change, national institutional reform and the strengthening of joint commissions are vital. The contributors indicate ways in which transboundary cooperation may move from simple and intermittent coordination to sophisticated, adaptive and equitable modes of water management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Axelrad Cahan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785272543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785272547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Jean Axelrad Cahan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978265133311,"sku":"9781785272547","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b35dd8b4-0bbf-447d-b221-fb23f8cbb1a5.jpg?v=1683240628","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/water-security-in-the-middle-jean-axelrad-cahan-9781785272547","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
