The analysis is based on the assumption that from human security perspective common solutions for urgent problems can be derived more easily than out of a perspective of national security. Yet it is acknowledged that according to a new security perspective different security threats are being identified by relevant actors. An empirical analysis of written statements and utterances of the respective security elites establishes the methodological tool for the identification of human security discourses in Israel and Jordan. Subsequently it is estimated how far water is presented as a matter of national security in Israel and Jordan using the theory of securitization Analysis afvalwaterbehandeling waste water treatment waterbeheer water management sociaal beleid social policy politicologie political science milieuwetgeving environmental legislation milieubeleid environmental policy milieu environment politieke economie political economy Water Management (General) Waterbeheer (algemeen) Audience Scholarly & Professional Springer Subject Water-supply -- Israel Nature -- Natural Resources Water-supply -- Israel Water-supply Israel Form Electronic book ISBN 9783642292989 3642292984
