Alumni Diplomatic theory and practice BlogsIn arid regions like the Middle East, water cooperation is crucial for resolving conflicts. The region faces escalating water-related disputes amid projections of increased water demand globally. Traditional conflict resolution methods are insufficient, necessitating innovative approaches such as mediation, soft power diplomacy, and collaborative water management. An example is the conflict over the West Banks Mountain Aquifer between Israelis and Palestinians, highlighting the importance of shared water resources. Initiating transparent frameworks for cooperation can lead to mutual benefits, economic growth, and sustainable peace, emphasizing the need for a positive-sum solution and involvement of the international community.
