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

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.


A state‑of‑the‑art review of water diplomacy

Year: 2021

Collections:

Topics: Climate, Sustainable Development, IWRM, Water diplomacy, Transboundary Water Resources, Water Security

Authors: Soheila Zareie, Omid Bozorg‑Haddad, Hugo A. Loáiciga

Source: Environment, Development and Sustainability

Diplomacy is the art and skill of managing international relations through negotiations between representatives of states or agencies. Water diplomacy is an innovative approach and strategic tool to resolve water issues at local and trans-boundary scales when water conflicts rise in sharing water resources. Complex water supply and sharing issues arise from the existence of multiple stakeholders such as agriculture, industry, urban and domestic users, environmental use, and others competing for scarce water. Water diplomacy may contribute to solving a variety of water conflicts and in this sense is a tool for sustainable water resources management.


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 River Basin Organizations, Science, and Hydrodiplomacy

Collections: Scientific Publications, Review article

Topics: Water, Water governance Water diplomacy,

Authors: Anita Milman, Andrea K. Gerlak

Countries:

Source: Environmental Science and Policy 107, 137–149

This paper examines the production and use of science by three IRBOs: the (US – Canada) International Joint Commission, the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River, and the Mekong River Commission. We find the science produced by the IRBOs to support hydrodiplomacy extends beyond measuring and monitoring to include more advanced and analytical forms of science.

Informal water diplomacy and power: A case of seeking water security in the Mekong River basin

Year: 2020

Collections:

Topics: Water diplomacy, Water, IWRM, Transboundary Water Resources, Hydropolitics

Authors: Naho Mirumachi

Countries:

Source: Environmental Science and Policy

Water diplomacy is regarded as a means to prevent conflict and to enhance peace through the cooperative management of transboundary water resources. There have been calls for water diplomacy to be given further attention, especially by foreign policy and security specialists, and to be extended to non-state actors through informal dialogue processes. The paper critically questions the qualitative changes water diplomacy delivers and argues for further analytical scrutiny on its efficacy. Using a critical hydropolitics perspective, the paper advances understanding of the way power asymmetries presiding over contested waters are altered or maintained, particularly through informal diplomacy.
