China and transboundary water politics in Asia

"This book aims to systematically examine the complex reality of water contestations between China and its neighboring countries. It provides a discussion on transboundary hydro-politics beyond the state-centric geopolitical perspective to dig into various political, institutional, legal, historical, geographical, and demographic factors that affect China's policies and practices towards transboundary water issues. This book also provides a collection of comparative case studies on China's water resources management on the Mekong River with other five riparian states in the Lower Mekong region, Salween river with Myanmar, the Brahmaputra River with India, the Amur River with Russia and Mongolia, the Illy and Irtysh Rivers with Kazakhstan as well the Yalu and Tumen Rivers with North Korea. Furthermore, this book sheds light on China's future role in global water governance"--
