Title	The Dynamics of Negotiation Processes on International Water Disputes . The Case of The Nile Basin
URL	http://www.ciaonet.org/wps/dia01/
Description	This article discusses the political aspects of the consultation process on the Nile issues to demonstrate the dynamic nature of a negotiating process and to explain possible outcomes in the future. By looking at the dynamics of the process, and by investigating the underlying causes for drawbacks and successes of the process over time, characteristic features of the Nile case are identified. In relative terms, both Strategic Management Process (SMP) and Political Accounting System (PAS) analyses suggest that there is more disagreement among the riparians on water allocation and out-of-basin transfer of Nile water issues, and more agreement on regional cooperation.
