WATER GEOPOLITICS IN CENTRAL ASIA. Case Study – Future Implications of Rogun Hydropower Plant

Summary/Abstract: Trans-boundary water resources emerge in considerable interstate challenges, as it is the case of Central Asian countries, revealing the uttermost importance of water in all its complex economic, political, environmental and human security dimensions. Albeit being under international law regulations, water scarcity is prone to aggravate regional disputes under defective management and cooperation. Hereupon the thesis of the study is that unequal distribution of water and large hydro infrastructure projects built on trans-boundary waters lead to an increased potential of interstate conflicts.
