| Zusammenfassung |
| The existing literature faces difficulties when accounting for the
simultaneity of socio-environmental conflict and cooperation. We suggest
that this puzzle can be solved by more recent constructivist works, which
argue that conflictive or cooperative behavior is driven by discursively
constructed interests, identities and situation assessments. Based on a
literature review and field interviews, we analyze and compare the dominant
water discourses in Israel and Palestine with the discourse dominant among
the activists of a water cooperation project between communities from Israel
and the West Bank. Our main result is that discourses are indeed crucial for
understanding water-related conflict and cooperation. This finding
highlights the relevance of constructivist approaches in the study of
socio-environmental conflict and cooperation as well as of practices of
bottom-up discursive conflict transformation. |
