A theoretical analysis ofhydropolitics homer-dixon’s environmental scarcity theory and the regime theory Mahlakeng MK Abstract The hydropolitical landscape oftransboundary river basins has been affected by water scarcity. Hydropolitics is the politics of water symbolising the complex relations and interactions among states that share river basins. Hydropolitics should be viewed not only as the change in the hydrological system, but also seen in conjunction with institutional capacity to absorb the change. Due to numerous factors ranging from environmental to geopolitical issues, transboundary basins could become nascent sources of conflict. This article conceptualises both Homer-Dixons Environmental Scarcity Theory as well as the Regime Theory with regard to transboundary river basins. Top |
