Water as a Catalyst for Peace - Transboundary Water Management and Conflict Resolution is a book by Ahmed Abukhater, published by Routledge in 2013. The book delineates a transformative water negotiation framework and provides an in depth exposé of how equity can be linked, in its myriad forms, into the process of international treaty negotiation and governance. Description This book analyzes international water allocation policies in different parts of the world. It advocates for using water as a way to promote cooperation and peace. The book offers a different approach to resolving water disputes by focusing on process equity parameters that influence outcomes, perceptions, and implementation of water treaties. The key messages of the book are relevant to the geo-political and hydro-political aspects of water resources in the context of bilateral and multilateral conflicts, and the trans-boundary management of water resources, which contributes insights to political ecology, geo-politics, and environmental policy. Contribution In this book, the author challenges the water war paradigm by providing evidence that water can and should be a source of cooperation and a catalyst for peace rather than a reason for conflict. The book suggests a method called "transformative approach to conflict resolution" that’s based on parameters of “process equity” to resolve transboundary water conflicts. This book is related to a continuum of disciplines including Environmental Studies, Conflict Resolution, Political Ecology, Environmental Law, Political Geography, Middle East Studies, and Water Industries.
