Now in an updated edition, this pioneering and authoritative study considers the profound impact of the growing global water crunch on international peace and security as well as possible ways to mitigate the crisis. Although water is essential to sustaining life and livelihoods, geostrategist Brahma Chellaney argues that it remains the worlds most underappreciated and undervalued resource. One sobering fact is that the retail price of bottled water is already higher than the international spot price of crude oil. But unlike oil, water has no substitute, raising the specter of water becoming the next flashpoint for conflict.Water war as a concept may not mesh with the conventional construct of warfare, especially for those who plan with tanks, combat planes, and attack submarines as weapons. Yet armies dont necessarily have to march to battle to seize or defend water resources. Water warsin a political, diplomatic, or economic senseare already being waged between riparian neighbors in many parts of the world, fueling cycles of bitter recrimination, exacerbating water challenges, and fostering mistrust that impedes broader regional cooperation and integration. The danger is that these water wars could escalate to armed conflict or further limit already stretched food and energy production.

While the topic is crucial, the writing style didn't hold my attention as much as I'd hoped. There are some compelling points made, but it felt somewhat dry in places. It's an important read, just not the easiest.

A must-read for water advocates
"Peace and War" dives deep into the global water crisis. The analysis of how globalization is impacting water resources is both eye-opening and alarming. I bought this for my environmental studies class, and it sparked some great discussions!

Informative but a bit dense
This book offers a lot of data and case studies on the water crisis, which I appreciated. However, I found some sections a bit hard to get through. It’s important information, just be ready for a challenging read.

Essential read for water crisis awareness
This book captures the urgent need to address water issues caused by globalization. I'm glad I got my copy. The stories and facts shared are really impactful, and it got me thinking hard about our water usage!

Needed for my research
I picked up "Confronting the Global Water Crisis" for a project on international relations. It provided solid insights and perspectives. Some chapters could have used clearer summaries, but it’s a valuable resource overall.
