Public Meeting
MARK ZEITOUN: POWER AND WATER IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Monday 1 December
5pm

UCL, Wilkins Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre, Gower Street - London - WC1E 6BT

Dr Mark Zeitoun on the the Hidden Politics of the Palestinian-Israeli Water Conflict.
Organised by UCL Friends of Palestine Society and Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

Power and Water in the Middle East provides a powerful new perspective on the Palestinian-Israeli water conflict. Adopting a new approach to understanding water conflict - hydro-hegemony- the author shows the conflict to be much more deeply entrenched than previously thought and reveals how existing tactics to control water are leading away from peace and towards continued domination and a squandering of this vital resource.

Mark Zeitoun is a water engineer with more than a decade of experience in conflict and post conflict zones, including the Palestine, Iraq, Lebanon, Chad and the Republic of Congo. He is with the Centre of Environmental Policy and Governance at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
