The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

If water diplomacy is to deliver peace through justice, then the field must be fundamentally reframed; otherwise, we should be honest that justice is not the goal. This Forum piece contends that such a reframing requires questioning the field's core assumptions – and argues that decolonising water diplomacy represents a fourth paradigm.
