Water Diplomacy
This chapter aims to provide an insight into what water diplomacy is and invites the reader to develop their own ideas about water diplomacy, as well as on how the approach and tools can be useful for water management in general. Generally the consensus is that water diplomacy tools and processes aim to foster water cooperation, prevent conflicts, and support a sustainable management of existing conflicts. Diplomatic tools are applied to maintain good relations, strengthen existing relations, allow for mending of broken relations and to prevent conflicting relations from escalating. Leading researchers on water diplomacy are emphasising the importance of learning from indigenous practices of conflict resolution, as well as religious practices. Water conflict, cooperation, and diplomacy can be understood better when approaching the situation in an interdisciplinary manner, connecting social, political, economic, and natural science information. The chapter concludes with a reflection on challenges and future knowledge requirements for the field of water diplomacy.
