Dr. Mark Zeitoun is co-founder of the Water Security Research
Centre, and Professor of Water Security and Policy at the School of
International Development, University of East Anglia. His research
follows three streams: a) development of theory and case-based
research on international transboundary water management; b)
examination of the influence of armed conflict on water and other
essential urban services, and c) water security and management
in
development, post-conflict, and conflict contexts. This stems from
his work as a humanitarian-aid water engineer, and advisor on water
security policy and transboundary water negotiations throughout the
Middle East
and Africa. He has a B.Eng in civil engineering and an MSc in
environmental engineering from McGill University, and a PhD in
human geography from King's College London.
Dr. Naho Mirumachi is Senior Lecturer at the Department of
Geography, King's College London, UK and convenes King's Water, an
interdisciplinary research hub on water, environment and
development. Her research focuses on the politics and governance of
water resources, particularly in developing country contexts. She
has a keen interest in the power dynamics and discourses that shape
and reshape water allocation and use with equity implications. Her
work thus explores the
interface of natural resources, development and security. She has
wide-ranging fieldwork experience in south and southeast Asia,
southern and eastern Africa. She has published extensively and is
the author of
Transboundary Water Politics in the Developing World and served as
lead author on freshwater policy for the 2019 UN Environment GEO-6
report.
Dr. Jeroen Warner is Associate Professor of Disaster Studies and
Research Coordinator with the Sociology of Development and Change
group. His background is in International Relations, notably
security studies, reflected in his work on transboundary water
conflict and governance, hydrological disaster risk and its
politics, and an engagement with security framing to invoke
exceptional measures (securitisation, catastrophisation). He led a
2-year European Horizon 2020 project on
urban disasters and cultures, EDUCEN, and a Brazilian CAPES
scholarship on cultures of disaster, in which capacity he was
Special Visiting Professor at the University of Sao Paulo. More
recently, Jeroen has been
working on mobilities in related to environmental and
sociopolitical change, especially in Bangladesh. Jeroen published
and co-published several books, including The Politics of Water
(with Kai Wegerich), Flood Planning, Multi-Stakeholder Platforms
for Integrated Water Management
"The case for transboundary water governance is easy enough to
accept, but an adequate level of cooperation is extraordinarily
difficult to achieve. This makes Zeitoun, Mirumachi, and Warner's
critical analysis a must read for anyone concerned about the
looming global water crisis and the frightening consequences of
global warming." -- Danilo Türk, Former President of the Republic
of Slovenia and Chairman of the Global High Level Panel on Water
and Peace
(2015-2017)
"The authors of this volume placed political, social, and moral
issues at the forefront of water governance studies. Well-meaning
efforts toward transboundary water cooperation have often fizzled
out throughout the world because of the premature pursuit of an
overly technocratic approach. Without prior hydro-diplomacy capable
of articulating underlying fears, scientific modeling alone
achieves little. This book points negotiators and scholars in the
right
direction." -- Dipak Gyawali, Nepal Academy of Science and
Technology and Former Minister of Water Resources
"Everyone speaks about water conflicts. This book is about their
transformation. Mark Zeitoun, Naho Mirumachi, and Jeroen Warner
offer a hands-on transformative analysis approach that takes the
reader on an eye-opening journey from understanding the manifold
layers of water conflict to identifying innovative resolution
pathways for change. A must read for all those who care about
equitable and sustainable transboundary water governance." --
