Dr. Shafiqul Islam is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and a Professor of Water Diplomacy at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.
Lawrence Susskind and Shafiqul Islam’s work on water diplomacy has expanded since their piece was published in 2012. In this piece, they present some of the lessons learned and a water diplomacy framework for more effective water management.
By framing water agreements in non-zero-sum terms and building trust over time, even countries in conflict can successfully manage shared water resources for mutual benefit.
