Abstract

The history of water relations in the Nile River basin indicates the existence of cooperation as well as conflict since the 1950s. Recently, there has been negative escalation of disputes regarding the hydropolitical interactions within the regional system of the Nile Basin region; reaching a critical level after the failure of negotiations of the Framework Convention for the Nile Basin (Entebbe). The situation grew further strained after Ethiopia embarked on the construction of the renaissance dam without prior notification to downstream Egypt and Sudan.
This study aims to analyze the hydropolitical interactions in the Nile Basin with a focus on conflictual interactions. This study is based on the hydropolitical framework, which means the analysis and interpretation of international political phenomena, both conflictual or cooperative, in the context of water issues in the Nile Basin. This framework is related to some analytical concepts such as: Hydrostrategic, Hydro-Hegemony, hydropolitical flexibility.
The study analyzes three issues: (1) the dimensions of the water conflict in the Nile Basin, with a focus on the contradictory attitudes of the countries upstream and downstream; with a focus on the Ethiopian Hydropolitical behavior towards the Renaissance Dam; (2) the role of the external factors in regional and international actions in the Nile Basin; and (3) the potential scenarios of the hydropolitics (conflict and cooperation) in the Nile Basin.
