Power and Water in the Middle East by Mark Zeitoun provides a new perspective on the Palestinian-Israeli water conflict, revealing how existing tactics to control water are leading away from peace and towards continued domination. The book introduces the new analytical framework of hydro-hegemony, which may be used to expose the hidden dynamics of water conflicts around the world and yields critical insights into the Middle East water situation. This work is important for researchers, professionals, and policy makers involved with the politics of the Middle East and with water conflict more generally.
