Özet:
Environmental peacebuilding as a newly emerging research field has received much scholarly attention since the end of the Cold War, as environment has been increasingly regarded as one of the areas for peace and cooperation. In this respect, scholars studying environmental security have sought to identify causal linkages between environment and peace, and argued that environmental issues, apart from being causes of conflicts, might also enhance peace and cooperation among the former conflicting parties.
Among natural resources water receives the greatest attention in the literature on environmental peacebuilding. Since water-related cooperative events outweigh water-related conflict events, researchers have shifted their attention to identifying water-peace causal linkages.
This thesis aims to contribute to this growing literature by critically evaluating EcoPeace Middle East’s (a trilateral environmental non-government organization) Good Water Neighbors Project. It seeks to assess whether this project’s environmental peacebuilding via transboundary water cooperation helps increase peace and equity or it just reproduces the status quo of unequal water distribution and power asymmetries among the parties.
