Produktbeschreibung
Teferi shows the dynamics of the hydropolitics of the Blue Nile within the broad context of Ethiopian history. He looks at the Blue Nile as a major factor of interaction and interdependence among Ethiopia, the Sudan and Egypt.

The river could not be disconnected from national sentiment and treated as a common and shared natural resource among the riparian states.
