Gulf Security and Regional Watercourse Management

Implications for the UAE

By: Bertrand Charrier

Rivers and other water resources are one of the sources of life on the planet. As such, everybody should have access to water and such resources should be protected from conflicts and over-consumption. Many long-standing water-related disputes still remain unresolved, and the growing demand for finite freshwater resources heightens the risk of future conflicts developing. The need for integrated, cooperative solutions is particularly urgent in the 263 river basins that are shared by two or more states and in which nearly half the territory and population of the world is located. In the absence of strong institutions and agreements, changes within a basin can lead to conflict. When major water projects proceed without regional collaboration they can become a flash point, heightening tensions and regional instability, and requiring years or even decades to resolve. This study tackles the information and reasons driving the GCC countries, particularly the UAE, to play an essential role as mediators and actors in facilitating the building of peace in the Middle East. In the Gulf region, the surface water and groundwater issue is gradually turning into a cause of tension and conflict, and possibly even wars. It is imperative not to ignore the need to establish forms of management that are sustainable in the short, medium and long term. Therefore, political decision makers should treat this highly critical issue as soon as possible, and effectively address the issue of water management for trans-boundary water bodies and thus avoid potential conflict.

Letters, Orders and Musters of Bertrand Du Guesclin, 1357-1380

By: Bertrand Du Guesclin (comte de Longueville)

Bertrand du Guesclin (d. 1380) was the most famous French soldier of his generation. He made his name as a guerrilla leader in the Breton War of Succession (1341-64) and, as Constable from 1370-80, played a major role in the recovery of France under Charles V. Captured on at least three occasions, but also victorious in several important battles, his valour and dominant personality allowed him to exercise remarkable influence. He twice led important expeditions to Spain where he was rewarded with lands and titles by the kings of Aragon and Castile. A contemporary chivalric verse-life lies at the base of all subsequent biographies, but this book brings together for the first time the wealth of archival evidence relating to his career, making available the full range of diplomatic, administrative and financial evidence for his public and private life found in more than fifty archives in western Europe. It offers a corrective to views on du Guesclin that have traditionally been derived too exclusively, and often uncritically, from literary sources. MICHAEL JONES is Emeritus Professor of Medieval French History, University of Nottingham.

Recycle

By: Didier Ruef,Matthieu Ricard,Jean-Michel Cousteau,Bertrand Charrier

Cet ouvrage propose vingt reportages réalisés de 1991 à 2008 par le photographe Didier Ruef sur les thématiques des déchets et du recyclage. De Suisse en Chine, en passant par le Kazakhstan, les Etats-Unis, Nauru ou l'Irak, Didier Ruef a photographié un faisceau de situations où l'humanité se révèle derrière les déchets qu'elle produit, subit ou recycle. 238 images d'un photographe engagé qui, mieux que des sollicitations formelles à la protection de l'environnement, invitent à la prise de conscience et à l'action. Pendant des siècles, l'homme a valorisé et recyclé les résidus de son activité productrice. Puis est arrivée l'ère des déchets comme compagnons quotidiens. Dans nos sociétés d'abondance, la production toujours croissante de biens ignore désormais les montagnes de résidus qu'il s'agit coûte que coûte d'éliminer. Face à la croissance démographique et économique et à la fragilisation des écosystèmes, il n'est plus possible de soustraire à notre vue les ordures et les déchets toxiques, dans l'illusion d'une mise à l'écart définitive et d'une stérilisation sans retour. Didier Ruef publie régulièrement ses images dans la presse suisse et internationale.
