Water security perspectives to unveil water conflict complexities - lecture by Dr. Nikolas Galli

Dr. Galli’s lecture explores stories and research on the challenge to find systematic representations of water conflicts basing on the concept of water security. How can quantitative assessments of water availability, water use, and water scarcity fit into the same framework as notions on socio-economic and cultural importance of water, and what can be their value added in better understanding water conflicts? These matters are discussed relying on case studies of different conflict dynamics in and around the Lake Chad Basins, and urban conflicts in Central America.
