Diplomacy is a set of initiatives that aims at reaching agreeable solutions between parties who have diverging interests in potentially conflict-laden issues that might otherwise escalate into a hot confrontation. Diplomacy encompasses the processes and institutions by means of which national interests and identities of sovereign states are represented to one another (Wiseman and Sharp ). In line with these definitions, this book aims to assess the processes and institutions in Turkeys water diplomacy framework with a specific focus on its evolving position vis--vis international water law.

Water is vital to many levels of human survival. It fluctuates both in space and time, and has multiple and conflicting demands in terms of its use. This means that flows crossing international boundaries can be a source of tension between states (Wolf , 13).

The main objective of this book is to elucidate Turkeys water diplomacy framework with its key actors and guiding principles. Thus, the analysis adopts an institutionalist approach, by presenting and emphasizing the role of the legal and institutional foundations upon which Turkeys water diplomacy framework rests. It carries systematic and accurate background information on Turkeys transboundary water relations from a historical and geographical perspective. It also includes a thorough analyses of Turkeys position towards international water law. Turkeys state practice in customary international water law, as well as treaty law, has been critically analysed.

The book also identifies non-state actors (i.e. Track II, NGOs, academia) and the salient processes in Turkeys water diplomacy framework. Identifying such actors and processes not only contributes to the existing academic body of knowledge, but also has the potential to bolster cooperation over Turkeys transboundary waters. Finally, the book comes up with policy-relevant recommendations for tackling with the growing challenges in Turkeys transboundary water relations.
