Why do states in arid regions fail to cooperate in sharing water
resources and how can they be encouraged to do so? In a provocative and
well-researched analysis of the history and current status of the
dispute over the waters of the Jordan River basin and its relationship
to the Arab-Israeli conflict, Dr. Miriam Lowi explores the answers to
these questions. This book will be of value to all those with an
interest in the region, and to those concerned with the environmental
issues of the politics of water scarcity.
