Changes in the Balance of Power



 PAST




PRESENT
Bargaining and Ideational Power:
                what has changed?
• Negotiations capacity
• Power to set the
                                 ’Less’ power asymmetries
  agenda/timing
• Collective bargaining power

• New geopolitical actors and      Counter-hegemonic actions
  settings
• New ’joker’ cards (e.g. GRD)
• New paradigm of                Challenges to status quo
  cooperation
Multilateral Cooperation: the good and the evil


                                                     Basin-wide
         Multilateral                              development of
         Cooperation                               transboundary
                                                   water resources




   Basin-wide legal and institutional framework?


   New paradigms for development of water resources?


   Agenda-setting: who calls the shots?
Cooperative Framework Agreement (CFA):
 A new hydropolitical set-up on the Nile?




                     1997-2007: Multilateral negotiations

                     2007-2010: Interlude

                     2010: Signature of the new CFA

                     > 2013: Ratification by upstream riparians

                     A not-all inclusive Nile Basin Commission?
Grand Renaissance Dam:
a new paradigm for cooperation?
              • Multilateral cooperation has not
                delivered
              • Increasing needs and demands
              • Ethiopian unilateral move
              • Trilateral Committee
              • New paradigm for cooperation?
Cooperation without donors?




• Who calls the shots?
• Cooperation outside the NBI
  (although...)
• Country-driven
• Trilateral talks
• Investment-driven
• No external funding
Outcomes of transboundary cooperation


                                                Ideational
                                   Bargaining   status quo

                       Conflict    bargaining
   Cooperation
                       addressed
Conclusions




     How do we know that soft power is being utilised?

How does it have an impact on water resources management
             practices and allocation outcome?

How can we assess it as being a form of justice being argued?

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. 3. How does soft (bargaining and ideational) power influence the process and outcome of transboundary water interaction? Purpose: To investigate more precisely how expectations are set, how ideational and bargaining power supports particular views of justice, and vice–versa, how unfair status quo is reproduced, the favouring of apolitical conflict management over conflict resolution.

  3. I’m looking forward to our session “How does soft (bargaining and ideational) power influence the process and outcome of transboundary water interaction?”The aim of this session is to really dig in to how we can potentially understand the mechanics of power and justice combined.Some prompt questions for you to think on the train/plane:How do we know that soft power is being utilised? How can we assess it as being a form of justice being argued, and how does it have an impact on water resources allocation outcome and management practices?
