Reviews
“Anyone interested in the still developing international law of water resources; the politics and economics of the Nile basin or of any state within the basin; or in the more general questions of the interplay of law, economics, and politics in international regimes as well as the impact of those regimes on the lives of ordinary people will find that this book rewards a careful reading.” – Prof. Joseph W. Dellapenna, Villanova University School of Law
“This work deals with a very important topic that has huge theoretical and policy significance. This book will be an excellent contribution to the on going research on ‘water, conflict and cooperation’ in general and Nile basin development and cooperation in particular. It is well written, convincingly argued and thoroughly researched.” - Prof. Ashok Swain, Uppsala Center for Sustainable Development
