- 3. How does soft (bargaining and ideational) power influence the process and outcome of transboundary water interaction? Purpose: To investigate more precisely how expectations are set, how ideational and bargaining power supports particular views of justice, and vice–versa, how unfair status quo is reproduced, the favouring of apolitical conflict management over conflict resolution.

- I’m looking forward to our session “How does soft (bargaining and ideational) power influence the process and outcome of transboundary water interaction?”The aim of this session is to really dig in to how we can potentially understand the mechanics of power and justice combined.Some prompt questions for you to think on the train/plane:How do we know that soft power is being utilised? How can we assess it as being a form of justice being argued, and how does it have an impact on water resources allocation outcome and management practices?
