   Water and Post-Conflict Peacebuilding

   Edited by Erika Weinthal, Jessica J. Troell and Mikiyasu Nakayama

In the aftermath of war, water, sanitation, and infrastructure play a critical role in the recovery of livelihoods and economic development. Moreover, shared waters have great potential for interstate cooperation, assisting to rebuild trust following conflict and to prevent a return to conflict. This volume draws on studies from around the world to create a framework for understanding how water resources decisions and activities can facilitate or undermine peacebuilding in a post-conflict setting.

    Disaster Management

    Edited by Alejandro López-Carresi, Maureen Fordham, Ben Wisner, Kelman Kelman and JC Gallard
