Opis

It's often claimed that future wars will be fought over water. But while international water conflict is rare, it's common between sub-national jurisdictions like states and provinces. Drawing on cases in the United States, China, India, and France, this book explains why these sub-national water conflicts occur - and how they can be prevented.

Recenzje

This is an original and insightful contribution to our understanding of the politics and financing of water. Dr. Moores research demands to be read by the broadest possible range of development practitioners and scholars.
