Rivers Divided: Indus Basin Waters in the Making of India and Pakistan by Daniel

Description: Rivers Divided by Daniel Haines, Postdoctoral Research Fellow Daniel Haines Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Daniel Haines uncovers the history of one of the most important factors in relations between these two South Asian powers -- water Publisher Description The Indus Waters Treaty is considered a key example of India-Pakistan cooperation, but less has been said about its critical influence on state-making in both countries. Rivers Divided reveals the importance of the Indus Basin river system, and thus control over it, for Indian and Pakistani claims to sovereignty after South Asias Partition in 1947. Securing water flows was a key aim for both governments. In 1960 the Indus Waters Treaty ostensibly settled the dispute, but in fact failed to address critical sources of tension. Examples include the role of water in the Kashmir conflict and the riverine geography of Punjabs militarised border zone. Despite the recent resurgence of disputes over water-sharing in South Asia, the historical causes and consequences of the regions flagship natural resources treaty remain little understood. Based on new research in South Asia, the United States and United Kingdom, this book places the Indus dispute, for the first time, in the context of decolonisation and Cold War-era development politics. It examines the discord at local, national and international levels, arguing that we can only explain its importance and longevity in light of India and Pakistans state-building initiatives after independence.
