This comprehensive book analyses the legal, political, and cultural dynamics of the Nile Basin water regime. Nile Basin Politics provides a thorough examination of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam's political impact on Nile Basin countries, highlighting the domestic, nationalist, and hydro-hegemonic hurdles to cooperation.Challenging conventional assumptions, the book proposes bilateral and multilateral coordination solutions to foster trust and to encourage engagement with the political landscape surrounding the GERD. Exploring domestic politics and the conflicting dynamics between cooperation and competition, the contributing authors explain the incentives that make short-term collaboration difficult to achieve. It frames its analysis of policy coordination as a pragmatic alternative for short-term water diplomacy in the region.Students, researchers and academics in international relations and political science, African politics, development studies, water governance and environmental studies will find this book an accessible and invaluable resource. Policymakers will also find this a beneficial reference for international Sustainable Development Goals policies.
