Researchers and practitioners critically examine one or more themes such as—economy, society and culture in transboundary resource sharing: conflict and cooperation, nature of challenges, everyday dynamics and formal and informal responses; contemporary water governance framework in South Asia (reflecting on the issues of justice and rights of riparian communities); transboundary disaster governance and policies that relate to resource management; water governance networks and alliances in South Asia; political economy of communities depended on transboundary rivers; risk-informed planning and governance for transboundary resources management (implications for at-risk populations—like women, youth and children, fisherfolk, indigenous communities); policies and engagement at national level between South Asian countries on risk-informed governance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eThe book acknowledges that policies in South Asia need to deepen their agenda towards just and equitable sharing of water resources across the riparian regions, with an inclusive and people-centred approach of decision-making. For this purpose, it brings forth an understanding of the perspectives of different stakeholders for bridging gaps and facilitating a constructive dialogue for the betterment of the marginalized and vulnerable water-dependent groups. The book is a rich resource for researchers as well as NGOs and policy makers working on issues of water governance, disaster governance, trans-boundary issues, community resilience and so on.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-03-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789819676903\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-96-7691-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 253\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44309572780172,"sku":"9789819676903","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789819676903.jpg?v=1776007580","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789819676903","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
