They are thus both a significant asset to the  nations sharing them, as well as a potential source of conflict. This  book presents a generic framework for the analysis of decision making  on international river issues. It emphasises the strategic character  of the interactions between the basin states and addresses learning  and institutionalization processes, taking account of the influence of  the context on the decision making process. \u003cbr\u003e  The case of the river Scheldt covers negotiations on the  Belgian-Dutch water conventions covering a number of  international issues relating to the river basins of the Scheldt and  the Meuse, such as construction projects aimed at improving the  maritime access to the port of Antwerp, the maintenance of the  navigation channel in the Western Scheldt, pollution of the waters in  the two rivers, and the distribution of water from the Meuse. \u003cbr\u003e  The final part of the book contains a typology of strategies for the  solution of upstream-downstream problems in international river  basins. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e All those interested in international water and  environmental management, international negotiations and politics, and  public policy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789048151943\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048151943\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9200-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 244cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 361\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359160430732,"sku":"9789048151943","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048151943_f5bd5848-52f3-4209-b733-82b8280fe7cd.jpg?v=1755103201","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789048151943","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
