Through a detailed study of the Tigris-Euphrates water conflict, the author develops an original framework that explains bargaining failures and proposes conditions for creating a new property rights regime among watercourse states that offers a route to governing their shared water resources in ways that are politically, economically and environmentally sound. A timely contribution to a matter of growing international concer.
