International Water Law and the Quest for Common Security
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-8153-7892-1 (ISBN)
The world’s freshwater supplies are increasingly threatened by rapidly increasing demand and the impacts of global climate change, but current approaches to transboundary water management are unsustainable and may threaten future global stability and international security. The absence of law in attempts to address this issue highlights the necessity for further understanding from the legal perspective.
