Who Owns It? Understanding Transboundary Water Conflicts

But what are the factors influencing these conflicts? It's important to understand this, seeing as we have a transboundary water conflict in our own backyard: the Mekong River Basin. We speak to Dr Naho Mirumachi, Associate Professor in Environmental Politics at King's College London, and co-author of 'Water Conflicts: Analysis for Transformation', to find out.
