The River Nile in the Age of the British : Political Ecology and the Quest for Economic Power PDF
by Terje Tvedt
- Information
Description
The Nile today plays a crucial role in the economics, politics and cultural life of ten countries and their more than 300 million inhabitants.
No other international river basin has a longer, more complex and eventful history than the Nile.
In telling the detailed story of the hydropolitics of the Nile valley in a period during which the conceptualisation, use and planning of the waters were revolutionised, and many of the most famous politicians of the twentieth century – Churchill, Mussolini, Eisenhower, Eden, Nasser and Haile Selassie – played active parts in the Nile game, this work will stand as a case study of a much more general and acute question: the political ecology of trans-national river basins.
