Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Register of International Rivers comprises international river and lake basins that form a substantial portion of the earth’s water resources, available for human use and consumption. This Register is prepared by the United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs for sessions of the Economic and Social Council’s Committee on Natural Resources. This book is divided into seven sections that comprise separate river basins communicating directly with the final recipient of the water, including oceans, closed inland seas, and lakes. It includes all the world’s separate basins shared by two or more countries and in some cases most of the basin area is confined to one country and only a small part of it extends to one or more countries. All data are organized according to five major continental divisions: Africa, North and Central America, South America, Asia, and Europe. Two categories of tables are prepared for each major continental subdivision. One is a list of countries sharing river basins with other countries, while the other is a list of rivers and lakes forming international boundaries and showing the approximate length of the boundary waters.

Download or read book Managing International Rivers written by Frank Marty and published by Peter Lang Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freshwater is the most valuable and fragile of the earth's life-supporting substances. 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.

Download or read book Governing International Rivers written by Tun Myint and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Employing a sophisticated understanding of the interplay between states and nonstate actors, Tun Myint develops a convincing account of the evolution of governance systems for the Rhine and Mekong river basins. In the process, he not only adds to our knowledge of water management at the international level but also deepens our appreciation of the various roles that nonstate actors play in international environmental governance.' – Oran Young, University of California, Santa Barbara, US 'Comparative studies of great river systems and the politics of their regulation are rare. Far rarer still are comparisons of this historical depth, analytical sophistication, attention to local detail and to the contingencies that make breakthroughs possible. Tun Myint's study of the Rhine and Mekong will inspire and inform future studies of both river and environmental politics.' – James C. Scott, Yale University, US 'This is a must read for scholars and water governance practitioners as it addresses the underexploited role of non-state actors and local citizens in the field of international water governance. The book fills in this knowledge gap by offering an inspiring refinement of the theory of polycentricity. Evidence is found by well written and attractive in depth case studies dealing with the international clean up of the Rhine and the construction of the Pak Mun Dam in the Mekong basin.' – Carel Dieperink, Utrecht University, The Netherlands 'This superb analysis of water governance in the Rhine and Mekong river basins should be read by everyone interested in the challenges of international water management.' – Thomas Bernauer, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, Switzerland This important book employs the theory of polycentricity, a system with several centres as an analytical concept to explain the multilayered international environmental governance of river basins. It introduces a new methodological framework to deconstruct and investigate the dynamics of citizens, states and non-state actors in world politics via the context of river basin governance. The methodology is tested through in-depth field-based case studies, illustrating how local citizens and industries in the Mekong and Rhine river basins participate in transnational environmental governance at both local and international levels. Tun Myint expertly presents both a methodology and theory to conceive polycentricity of world politics as a major intellectual milestone in theorizing world politics. Providing nuanced details of cases showing the challenges and feasibilities of incorporating multiple actors into a governance framework, the book provides careful analysis into the power of non-state actors. This book will prove insightful for scholars and postgraduate students in international relations, international development, global environmental governance, and international business administration. It will also prove an invaluable resource for practitioners and policymakers.
Download or read book International Rivers written by Georges Kaeckenbeeck and published by . This book was released on 1920 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In preparation for the peace conference that was expected to follow World War I, in the spring of 1917 the British Foreign Office established a special section responsible for preparing background information for use by British delegates to the conference. International Rivers is Number 149 in a series of more than 160 studies produced by the section, most of which were published after the conclusion of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. The study was written by Belgian legal scholar Georges Kaeckenbeeck (1892-1973) and thus is one of relatively few in the series issued under the name of an individual author. Kaeckenbeeck distinguishes between a national river lying wholly within the territory of one state and subject to its jurisdiction, and an international river, defined as a "river navigable from the sea, which flows through or along the territory of two or more States." International rivers are subject to the jurisdiction of more than one state and may be subject to principles or provisions of international law affecting the river as a whole. Part one covers general legal theories and principles, including those associated with or derived from feudalism, Roman law, the law of nature, and other sources. Part two deals with the laws relating to international rivers growing out of the Congress of Vienna (1814-15) and their application to the Rhine, Scheldt, Elbe, Weser, and other European rivers. This section also covers the legal regime governing navigation on the Danube River, which was established in the second half of the 19th century, but which generally followed the precedents set at the Congress of Vienna. Also discussed are the arrangements made by the European powers at the Conference of Berlin (1884-85) regarding navigation on the Congo and Niger Rivers. The final section draws general conclusions, summarizes the attitudes of the major powers regarding international riparian law, and discusses standard provisions contained in agreements relating to international rivers. The appendices include the texts of important international agreements and a brief summary of international legal issues relating to North American rivers, notably the Mississippi and Saint Lawrence, and to the Amazon and other South American rivers.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Conflict and Cooperation on South Asia's International Rivers' traces the development of international water law. This book focuses on the hydro-politics of four countries in the South Asia region: Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. It analyzes the problems that these countries have encountered as riparians of international rivers and how they have addressed these problems. In particular, this study reviews the treaty regimes governing the Indus River basin, the Ganges River basin, and the Kosi, Gandaki, and Mahakali river basins. Each of these regimes is described in-depth, with special attention devoted to the main problems each of these treaties sought to address. The authors also review the treaty experience and offer observations on bilateralism and multilateralism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water treaties, agreements and conventions abound, but knowledge of them, and the relevant records, used to be scattered and not always easily accessible. Utilizing historical documents, statistical analyses, and maps, the Atlas presents both a graphic and textual analysis and documentation of the world's international basins and their agreements. This Atlas builds upon knowledge stored in existing environmental legislative databases in an attempt to consolidate and disseminate information about shared water treaties. It yields a better understanding of existing treaties and treaty development through time, provide a basis for negotiating new agreements, and organizes the underlying knowledge for improving environmental governance throughout the world.
Download or read book Identity Conflict and Cooperation in International River Systems written by Jack Kalpakian and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kalpakian tests the dominant assumption that water disputes cause violent conflict between states and other actors in world politics. Using case studies from arid regions to bias the effort towards this assumption, he finds that issues related to identity have been the real source of conflict in the river basins studied. This essential volume: - challenges conventional assumptions about water and conflict - displaces the state as the sole actor in violent conflict - reveals the link between conflict and identity This book invites the reader to address the complexity in the relationships binding peoples and states in an international river basin.

This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book by a renowned environmental lawyer and scholar proposes a regime scheme that is not only based soundly on existing treaties concerning access rights to fresh water, but also on the human rights of persons dependent on rivers and lakes for water and food. Focusing on the Tigris-Euphrates basin, which is shared by Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, Professor Elver explores the transnational arrangements among these three countries for the allocation of river resources. The author clearly exposes the potential for conflict, and sets forth the role that international law can play in resolving such conflict and protecting the human rights of local populations. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
