Exploring 100 Years of Finnish Transboundary Water Interactions With Russia: An Historical Analysis of Diplomacy and Cooperation

Year: 2022

Collections: Scientific Publications, Review article

Topics: Water, Water governance Water diplomacy,

Authors: Juho Haapala, Marko Keskinen

Countries:

Source: Water Alternatives, 15(1), 93-128

This study combines the strengths of historical studies and analytical approaches on transboundary water interactions to establish an historical process perspective on transboundary waters. The study analytically separates transboundary water cooperation, water diplomacy, and their broader political setting, and analyses their interplay over a long period of time. The paper presents a detailed case study on the development and transformation of Finnish-Russian transboundary water interactions over the last 100 years, with an emphasis on Finland and its relationship with the Soviet Union/Russia after World War II.

Strategic programs and roadmaps for a certain period to implement small-scale capacities from renewable energy sources must be developed.

Comprehensive legislation that protects the investor's rights and prescribes the conditions for connecting to the grid, and the sale of energy produced by private energy companies must be in place. Green tariffs, tax regulations and economic stimulation must be introduced. Education and public awareness activities to disseminate information on renewable energy technologies have to be conducted.

Water diplomacy paths – An approach to recognise water diplomacy actions in shared waters

Year: 2021

Collections: Scientific Publications, Review article

Topics: Water, Water diplomacy

Authors: Juho Haapala, Marko Keskinen, Erik Salminen

Countries:

Source: Journal of Hydrology

In this article, we seek to contribute to the practice of water diplomacy by introducing a step-wise Water Diplomacy Paths approach for analysing different water diplomacy contexts and related water diplomacy actions. To facilitate this, we recognise five key aspects for water diplomacy (Political; Preventive; Integrative; Cooperative; Technical) and propose a general definition for water diplomacy. We also discuss the possible distinctions between the related concepts of water diplomacy and transboundary water cooperation. The use of the Water Diplomacy Paths approach is demonstrated with brief case studies focusing on Central Asia, the Mekong Region, and the Finnish-Russian water cooperation. The work builds on an extensive literature review and comparative analysis of water diplomacy approaches as well as on a series of workshops and interviews among selected water diplomacy actors, including career diplomats.


International Water Law Principles in Negotiations and Water Diplomacy

Year: 2021

Collections: Scientific Publications, Review article

Topics: Water, Water law, Water diplomacy

Authors: Susanne Schmeier

Countries:

Source: American Journal of International Law, 115, 173-177

International water law (IWL) principles are often called upon to address disagreements and conflict between riparian states to a shared watercourse, with various parties invoking them to guide states’ behavior towards cooperative solutions that benefit the water resources as well as broader regional cooperation and peace. This essay argues that it is particularly important to acknowledge the role IWL principles play in negotiation processes, that is, in an ex ante and non-judicial function, providing a framework for cooperation and contributing to lawmaking, which makes them important tools of international relations and water diplomacy.
