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.

Recent research has focused mainly on factors linking environmental change or stress to violent conflict, while less attention has been paid to conditions that promote cooperation and negotiation. This study presents preliminary findings on environmental, social, and economic indicators that may create favourable conditions for cooperative water resource agreements. The results suggest that inequality among riparian states across physical, economic, and social dimensions can, unexpectedly, facilitate the negotiation of international and regional agreements on shared water resources.
