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.
