El agua como factor polemológico

Resumen

This work, based on the historical study of the conflicts caused by the control of water and in the analysis of the evolution of international treaties on the subject, seeks to predict consequent scenarios of the struggle for this resource in the future. In this context, this work take into account the technological development that will optimize the exploitation of existing reserves and, thus, can turn water management into a point of approach for the people, instead of a reason for the outbreak of wars; analyzing, in particular, the diplomatic effort to find peaceful solutions for the exploitation of the shared basins and the technological development that allows the increasingly efficient use of this finite resource. Finally, this work concludes predicting scenarios of possible conflicts in the future, as well as verifying which tools can be efficient to become the existence of water reserves a reason for union between peoples and not the reason of future armed confrontations.
