biography

  • Shlomi Dinar is dean of the Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs and a Professor in the Department of Politics and International Relations.

    Dinar’s research interests lie at the intersection of international environmental politics, security, and negotiation. In particular, he has published in the area of conflict and cooperation over transboundary rivers (a field popularly known as ‘hydro-politics’).

Dinar’s research includes other areas and topics such as the nexus between political demography and technology and terrorism. Among his publications, he has authored International Water Treaties: Negotiation and Cooperation along Transboundary Rivers (Routledge 2008), co-authored Bridges Over Water: Understanding Transboundary Water Conflict, Negotiation and Cooperation (World Scientific 2007 and 2013) and International Water Scarcity and Variability: Managing Resource Use Across Political Boundaries (University of California Press 2017), and edited Beyond Resource Wars: Scarcity, Environmental Degradation, and International Cooperation (MIT Press 2011). His writings have also appeared in such journals as International Studies Quarterly, International Negotiation, Natural Resources Journal, Ecological Economics, Journal of Peace Research, Political Geography, Information, Communication and Society, Studies in Conflict and Terrorism, Terrorism and Political Violence, GeoJournal, Global Environmental Politics, Eurasian Geography and Economics, Nature: Climate Change, Foreign Affairs, The American Interest, and New Security Beat, among others.
