Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät - Geographisches Institut

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

ich freue mich, Ihnen im Namen der Hydrologie und Gesellschaft den Kolloquiums-Vortrag von

Sumit Vij und Jeroen Warner
von der
Universität Wageningen

am 07.05.2024, ankündigen zu dürfen.

In dem Vortrag wird es um das Thema

"Historical and cultural-political perspectives on two very different transboundary rivers - the Brahmaputra and the Maas - and their water hazards"

gehen.

Abstract:

Transboundary interactions in the Brahmaputra Basin are influenced by historical relations between riparians, current domestic water-energy-food demand, the state's polity, and, lastly, its geopolitical influence in the region and the world. However, at this moment, the riparians (India, China, and Bangladesh) are *intentionally maintaining the status quo for the Brahmaputra River at the transboundary level by using material and ideational resources. The presentation will discuss how India wants to reduce its hegemonic vulnerabilities, China wants to continue its domination in the region, and Bangladesh aims to continue using the Brahmaputra River while simultaneously building its technical and negotiation skills.

Wir heißen Sie herzlich um 15 Uhr c.t. im Raum 0´307 willkommen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Luisa Schmitz
