EDITORIAL STATEMENT
There is a growing awareness to the role that natural resources such as water, land, forests and environmental amenities play in our lives. There are many competing uses for natural resources, and society is challenged to manage them for improving social well being. Furthermore, there may be dire consequences to natural resources mismanagement. Renewable resources such as water, land and the environment are linked, and decisions made with regard to one may affect the others. Policy and management of natural resources now require interdisciplinary approach including natural and social sciences to correctly address our society preferences. This series provides a collection of works containing most recent [mdings on economics, management and policy of renewable biological resources such as water, land, crop protection, sustainable agriculture, technology, and environmental health. It incorporates modem thinking and techniques of economics and management. Books in this series will incorporate knowledge and models of natural phenomena with economics and managerial decision frameworks to assess alternative options for managing natural resources and environment. Disputes over water-rights allocation and over responsibility to protecting transboundary water quality have become major concerns at both domestic and international forums. This book explores possibilities for practical applications of the economics of bargaining and game theory approaches in water-related conflicts, in order to evaluate the potential from cooperation in management of transboundary water resources.
