African Journal on Conflict Resolution (Volume 8, Number 3, 2008)

"There are dynamic factors which tend to drive us apart and even incite separated groups to fight each other. Very much depends therefore on how we allow ourselves to be influenced by experiences and messages of discord or of concord. A fairly large proportion of such news is usually generated by politicians who are bent on strengthening their own constituencies and their own positions. Three of the articles in this issue address some of the dynamic factors: ethnicity and religious commitment."

Debates on water policy tend to focus on scarcity of water, with comparatively little attention paid analysis of policy frameworks for the management of floods.
