"Aysegul Kibaroglu engages the reader in the various interwoven aspects that together describe Turkey's water diplomacy. The book provides a detailed account of state administration, NGOs, legal, institutional, and practical matters that each and all play a role in how Turkey manages international water. Given the position of Turkey in a water scarce region, this book is a must read to those interested in water diplomacy." - Ariel Dinar, Distinguished Professor of Environmental Economics & Policy, University of California, Riverside, USA
