The aim of this study is to analyse why and under what conditions cooperation between Israel and the Palestinians and between Israel and Jordan has taken place and how it has functioned in the water sector. The study focuses on the water aspects of the respective peace negotiations as well as the implementation of what has been agreed upon. It therefore moves beyond the existing material which states that transboundary water cooperation does occur – material which is ample in a quantitative sense – by exploring why cooperation has occurred in the Jordan River Basin. This study is centred on foreign policy decision making in a situation of resource scarcity. The specific instance is the water problématique,one of the central questions in the peace process in the Middle East. |
