Water Issue in International Relations



Salam AL Rabadi: Prospects of Strategy


Necessary and very important for us study the issue of water in international relations in order to try to  cast a spotlight on the thorny topics and problems dealing with human life and his future in the fields of security, politics, economy, knowledge, culture. They reflect the reality of global variables, associated with a range of strategic themes in terms of world politics. Including: Global governance and ecological political, The effects of technological progress, Limits of military power, Human rights and sustainable development, Energy and natural resources, Demographic issue and food security, The problematic relationship between industrialized countries and developing countries.

The global changes related to the question of water and clearly shows us that the level of security in international relations has changed profoundly. The issue of water feed us with a package of information and impressions which takes us to new heights about the prospects for a renewed centered to keep pace with the movement of the world and its issues fixed and mobile.
So that we can understand and grasp the new patterns no longer for us feasible relying on classic debate instruments to read what is going on in the era of post-modernity and to understand the changes and transformations  in order to framing renewable facts in international relations.
If the ultimate goal of the postmodern world is access to sustainable development in a comprehensive framework. Thus the human security related to water issues falls in advanced concept of humanity.


And if the water wars and conflicts associated with this act maybe will not be imminent get now for the foreseeable future but inevitably may become imminent in the near term. and here is the question: How to deal with them when they occur? What we do to prevent it? Philosophically: Can the traditional theories of international relations to answer such questions?
1- How can for international relations to manage the conflict over water resources?
2- Are we facing a new international patterns in international relations, is no longer based on the principle of conflict of interest and not on the principle of a clash of civilizations, but on the principle of struggle for survival?
3- Difficult equation in international relations List on: How can we reconcile and improve coordination between the of living and human freedom in the use of resources to meet the needs creating and protecting the environment for future generations.
4- Is there a policy and creative diplomacy can be used in order to find solutions to the problems of scarcity of water resources ? Is there scientific methods can be applied on the ground? Will political and technical institutions able to implement it?
5- Does this mean that in the event of the failure of the political options will be asylum to a market economy option? Thus become water a commodity only subject to the logic of the market. Is it the eternal problem between policy priority and the priority of the economy ?
In the context of global variables, began the turning point in the approach In how to handle with the water issue: It is the main problems raised by the issue of water a fundamental problem relating to Sustainable development and the new context of international relations. The outstanding issues of concern to the whole world no longer exclusively on the states alone. And the nature of those issues or phenomena emerged from what is customary in international relations.
For example, environmental and water problems is the problem between human and nature. It is not a problem between countries through accurate diagnosis of the phenomenon. If ambition is the emergence of a global pattern of values governs the conduct of nations and institutions so will it be the issue of values and transformations in the forefront of intellectual questions current and future?
