Power and Perception in Transboundary Water Politics: Analyzing Dominant Water Narratives and Ideational Power in Israel-Palestine Relations
Abstract
This chapter investigates the role that ideational power played in transboundary water politics between Israel and Palestine. It examines power as an idea-driven force and explores how dominant water narratives from either side are portrayed in key reports through a test of two decidedly opposed frameworks. The first enumerates Israel's ability to frame water issues; the second contextualizes this as a more nuanced understanding of how poor states like Palestine come into the picture. The chapter demonstrates that the nuanced framework is better for understanding the power dynamics through a content analysis that identifies prevailing narratives and a Critical Discourse Analysis using Fairclough's three-dimensional model. By examining ideational aspects of water politics, this chapter contributes to understanding discourse in international water relations and to the broad understanding of narratives in global water policies.
