Description :

This book focuses on the disputed Gabcíkovo-Nagymaros Project on the Danube between Hungary and the Slovak Republic. It examines the history and progress of the case from the International Court of Justice to the subsequent agreement to joint monitoring and assessment of the environmental implications. It uses a multidisciplinary methodology combining approaches derived from natural resources management, geography, international relations, political science, and international law.

Based on original documents and research, and including numerous maps, figures, and authentic appendices accompanying the study, this book is a useful reference on the applications of environmental monitoring and data sharing for improving the management of international waters.
