In this book, Dr. Mina Samaan examines the development of the Nile cooperation over several decades, presenting the interaction and interdependency of cross-­ border water supply and potential lines for conflict. Water, despite being central to all countries, is not equally shared and the importance of this book is the detailed analysis on how riparian states shift their share, responsibilities, and burdens over time. Readers of this book will find a dense description of current and past water policies along the Nile, presented by Dr. Mina Samaan as an author with a regional and interdisciplinary expertise. –– Prof. Dr. Anja P. Jakobi, Professor of International Relations, TU-Braunschweig Everyone immediately
