Water Security: SAGE Library of International Security

Editat de Anders Jägerskog, Ashok Swain, Joakim Öjendal
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 oct 2014
During the past two decades, environmental security and more specifically the security of water as a natural resource has come to the forefront of research and discussion. Many regions have experienced an increased water scarcity due to climatic variability and climate change, and the uncertain impacts of climate change to the supply has brought the issue to the centre of political debates. Indeed it has been raised by both the EU and the US national governments as a major issue of concern globally and has also been highlighted by the Security Council of the UN. The four volumes of this collection seek to broadly outline the debate as it has developed, both from a policy as well as an academic perspective, with the aim to bring conceptual clarity as well as provide an account of how the water security discourse has emerged and developed. 


Volume One: Water Security - Origin and foundations
Volume Two: Water Security - International conflict and cooperation
Volume Three. Water Security and Development - An intimate relation
Volume Four: The Age of Water Security - Current dilemmas and future challenges

Recenzii

"This volume represents a serious and ground-breaking attempt to compile a volume of articles covering the key area of water security. The work by Professors Jägerskog, Swain and Öjendal provides us with a much needed selection of seminal articles that will be of substantial use for anyone wanting to understand the relationship between water and security. These major works can serve as insights into water as a source of conflict - but, equally, as a source and catalyst for cooperation "
“Over the past decades water gained attention in political debates as a resource at the core of intricate interdependencies among the world’s economies, societies, politics, and ecology. It is this complex picture that UNESCO addresses since the 60s in supporting its Member States to better understand and manage their water resources to the benefit of their peoples. This is also the lesson I draw from this outstanding work by Professors Jägerskog, Swain and Öjendal. These volumes are not only an original contribution to the Organization’s mandate; they also constitute a direct input for policy makers and point out that water security is vital for peace and development, highlighting what must be done to make it a reality for all”
