This paper summarizes the main results of the NATO CCMS Pilot Study Meeting on Transboundary Water Management Issues in the United States & Central Asia (8–10 March 2005, Tallahassee, Florida). The structure of the meeting was focused on comparing how major transboundary water sharing conflicts in the United States (like the ACF conflict) have been managed toward the goal of equitable conflict resolution among the competing jurisdictions with similar conflicts in the Central Asian region.

The Routledge Handbook of Water Diplomacy is a comprehensive guide to understanding and practicing water diplomacy – a framework for building relationships, negotiating shared interests, and managing complex water challenges across physical, political, and societal boundaries.
In an era marked by rising scarcity, deepening uncertainty, and growing geopolitical tension, this timely volume offers actionable insights for negotiated problem-solving grounded in both scientific understanding and diplomatic skill. Moving beyond abstract theory and technical fixes, the Handbook introduces a dual-pathway structure designed to meet the diverse needs of its users. The “Working Together” pathway invites readers to engage with water diplomacy through the lens of their roles, whether as professionals, decision-makers, funders, researchers, or affected communities. The “What Matters and Why” pathway highlights key thematic dimensions, including process design, adaptive learning, trust-building, divergent worldviews, and the management of uncertainty.
