International Borders and Conflict Revisited
Conflict appears more often between neighboring states. Adjacency generates interaction opportunities and arguably more willingness to fight. We revisit the nature of the border issue and measure geographical features likely to affect states’ interaction opportunities as well as their willingness to fight. We do so for all on-shore borders from the period 1946–2001. Although each border is unique, a general result shows that the longer the border…
Signing River Treaties—Does It Improve River Cooperation
International water management has lately received increased attention in both scholarly and political circles. Whereas the traditional focus when investigating water issues was on water conflicts, the attention has shifted toward examining more cooperative aspects of shared water relationships. River cooperation is frequently equated with river treaties but cooperation in river basins is much more than that. This article investigates the effect …
Shared rivers and conflict - A reconsideration
Neomalthusians have regularly predicted "water wars" while cornucopians have argued that there is no inherent water scarcity and liberal institutionalists have seen cooperation as a more likely outcome of competition for limited water resources than violent conflict. Three earlier studies have found a positive statistical relationship between shared rivers and low-level interstate conflict. Based on a more comprehensive dataset, an improved model…
The Effectiveness of Negotiations over International River Claims1
Rising demand for water in water-scarce areas has led to frequent predictions of looming “water wars,” although evidence suggests that water is also an important source of cooperation. This paper follows up on recent research suggesting that river disagreements are more likely to lead to both militarized conflict and peaceful negotiations when water demands and water scarcity are greatest, but that river treaties have generally prevented militari…
Book Notes
Peaceful Management of International River Claims
As global water scarcity increases, both scholars and leaders have suggested that water will be a leading cause of future armed conflict. Yet other scholars argue that states typically cooperate rather than fight to manage their shared water resources. We address these arguments by examining the management of internationally shared rivers in the Americas, Western Europe, and the Middle East from 1900–2001. We propose hypotheses on the factors tha…
