In Africa, for example, hydropolitics affect politics  and policymaking at the local, national, and international levels. To  investigate water politics, this unique work focuses on the issue  transboundary water governance in Southern and Eastern Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased  on extensive field research, it offers a comparative study of the  Orange Senqu and Nile basins in Africa, arguing that both causal and  behavioral factors (such as localization and trust building) drive the  multi-leveled development of cooperative management norms and foster the  creation of regional communities of interest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book combines  theory, analysis, and fieldwork within the framework of Constructivism  as well as a wide range of examples to identify and analyze the nature  of norms in hydropolitics. By doing so, it will help shape the debate on  how water conflict and cooperative governance should evolve and will  interest anyone studying African politics, hydropolitics, and issues of  development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57595046625654,"sku":"9781441149824","price":216.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_40631437.jpg?v=1775702687","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781441149824-the-politics-of-water-in-africa","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
