De la Chine aux confins algero-marocains, de l'Iran au Yemen en passant par le bassin du Nil, l'auteur analyse les perspectives securitaires et geopolitiques que recele ce bien essentiel a la vie : l'eau. Usages urbains et agricoles, complexite du couple eau/energie, approvisionnement des villes, rivalites entre puissances, savoir-faire et technologies mobilises par les 'hommes de l'eau' que sont les techniciens et ingenieurs : la question hydraulique est devenue l'un des grands enjeux du XXIe siecle. Source de conflit, l'eau peut egalement constituer un facteur de paix et de stabilite internationale, pour peu que les responsables politiques mettent concretement en oeuvre les principes d''hydro-diplomatie'. Ce livre explore egalement pour la premiere fois les consequences du Printemps arabe sur les infrastructures en eau dans des pays qui manquent structurellement de ce bien precieux, comme la Libye, la Tunisie, la Syrie.

This volume explores the role of water in the Middle East's current economic, political, and environmental transformations, which are set to continue in the near future. In addition to examining water conflict from within the domestic contexts of Iraq, Yemen, and Syria - all experiencing high levels of instability today - the contributors shed further light on how conflict over water resources has influenced political relations in the region. They interrogate how competition over water resources may precipitate or affect war in the Middle East, and assess whether or how resource vulnerability impacts fragile states and societies in the region and beyond.

In many countries, water institutional reforms (like the establishment of water user associations or the introduction of pricing mechanisms) are conducted in order to achieve more sustainable, efficient, and equitable water usage. Often, however, these reforms do not meet their objectives. Based on a comparative analysis of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, this study highlights the long neglected role of politics. It shows how a neopatrimonial regime context impacts the reform process, focusing on the decision making, the agricultural sector, the local governance institutions, internal water-institutional linkages, and the role of international donor agencies.
