Editorial Reviews
Review
Water Resources Development: "likely to usher in a new generation of hydropolitical research" Geographical Journal: "challenges traditional basin and regional scale approaches to hydro-political analysis of North Africa and the Middle East(MENA)" "provides a more satisfying and, indeed, compelling approach to understanding MENA Water perceptions and policies." Contemporary Review: "This study, which should be required reading for any student of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, shows the complex and underlying factor behind the struggles over land: the need for water."
