Abstract:

Central Asian states, where freshwater is a strategic resource, are oriented towards regional conflict rather than cooperation. First, the article analyses the role of the unequal distribution of freshwater that has been generating conflicts in Central Asia in the post-Soviet period. Next, these conflicts are examined. Finally, we provide some recommendations on the non-conflictual use of water. Keywords: water conflicts; freshwater; water resources; Central Asia; geopolitics; water resource management; responsible use of scarce resources; non-conflictual; recommendations
