Revisiting power in water diplomacy

Abstract: In this article, we revisit the special issue, ‘Power in Water Diplomacy’, published in Water International in 2020, and reflect on critical issues around water conflicts in the past five years. We have argued that the concept of water diplomacy has struggled to remain relevant with escalating water disputes and shifting political realities. Water diplomacy has grown into an industry, with expanding conferences and publications; for it to remain relevant, it should grapple with power asymmetries and project transboundary water governance within the realm of ‘low politics’.
