Über dieses Buch

This book investigates water issues in the Euphrates-Tigris basin between Turkey, Syria and Iraq (Iran). It presents the importance of water in the world and especially for the countries of the Euphrates-Tigris basin, the water resources of the three riparian countries, their advantages and disadvantages, the amount of reservoir construction in the three riparian countries, their water disagreements and conflicts, international water law. The importance of water in the Ottoman period is presented, the evolution of Turkey's water policy in the 20th and 21st centuries, the connection and interdependence of Turkey's water policy with its foreign and domestic policies are shown in detail. Separate reference is made to non-state actors, such as the Kurds of Turkey, Syria and Iraq. The work emphasizes that Turkey is a unique country in the world with its water policy in the Euphrates-Tigris basin: no other country is able to use water in such a multi-purpose way to achieve various goals.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
Water is the source of life. In many religions it is portrayed as something sacred—a gift from God. Water is required for almost all a society’s activities, such as the very visible ones of washing and cooking, but also in less visible areas such as food production.

Chapter 2. Theoretical Framework
Abstract
According to Joshua Goldstein (professor of international relations), there is no single theory that can explain the wide range of international interactions, both conflictual and cooperative. He further posits that there is a theoretical framework that has traditionally held a central position in the study of international relations. Goldstein called this approach ‘Realism’.

Chapter 3. Hydropolicy and Hydropolitical Interdependence
Abstract
According to a UN report on the state of the world’s water (2018), global water use has increased by a factor of six over the past 100 years and continues to grow steadily at a rate of about 1% per year. Water use is expected to continue increasing at the global level, as a function of population growth, economic development and changing consumption patterns, among other factors. The world population is expected to increase from 7.7 billion in 2017 to between 9.4 and 10.2 billion by 2050, with two thirds of the population living in cities.

Chapter 4. Historical and Geographical Overviews of the Euphrates-Tigris and the Orontes Basins
Abstract
Water has played an important role in the household, economic (agricultural) and military spheres in the Ottoman Empire and water issues have been in the spotlight of the authorities, which continues hitherto in the modern Republic of Turkey. The Ottoman Empire has faced a number of water challenges (supply of drinking water to cities, providing farmers with irrigation water and so on), and therefore began to build aqueducts, canal systems, cisterns, public fountainsand so on. But they weren’t large storage water structures, with only some exceptions in Istanbul.

Chapter 5. The Southeastern Anatolia Project—GAP
Abstract
GAP is the largest scale and costliest project in the history of the Republic of Turkey, also the one most effectively implemented among regional development plans and programmes developed so far. With its integrated regional development approach and sustainable human development philosophy, the GAP has its high prestige in relevant international literature.

Chapter 6. Water Conflicts Between Turkey, Syria and Iraq in 1980–2000
Abstract
Large volumes of water flowing in rivers are not easy to calculate and compare. To facilitate this, water quantity in this section will be given in billion cubic meters and flow rates in cubic meters per second (CMS). Water quality is a factor that is often overlooked in water basin research, but the impact of declining quality in the Euphrates-Tigris basin will be greater, and more immediate, than declining water quantity.

Chapter 7. Water Projects and the Kurds of Turkey
Abstract
After the collapse and partition of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I, the Kurds were promised the possibility of an independent state in articles 62 and 64 of the Treaty of Sevres, signed on August 10, 1920. But there was to be no Kurdish state. The main reason for this was the emergence of a strong Turkish nationalist state in the aftermath of the war and the subsequent suppression of Kurdish nationalist revolts in 1925, 1930 and 1937–38 (Olson 1997: 168–193).

Chapter 8. GAP in the 21th Century—Justice and Development Party
Abstract
With the Master Plan dated 1989 and revision introduced in 2002, the GAP was transformed into an integrated regional development project on the basis of multi-sector sustainable human development encompassing investments in agriculture, industry, transportation, education, health and rural and urban infrastructure building. Integrated projects are multi-purpose projects prepared for the overall development of a region. GAP is not just an agriculture and energy project: it is a structural transformation project that will carry out cultural and social transformation in the region.
