The analysis is based on the assumption that from human security perspective common solutions for urgent problems can be derived more easily than out of a perspective of national security. Yet it is acknowledged that according to a new security perspective different security threats are being identified by relevant actors. An empirical analysis of written statements and utterances of the respective security elites establishes the methodological tool for the identification of human security discourses in Israel and Jordan. Subsequently it is estimated how far water is presented as a matter of national security in Israel and Jordan using the theory of securitization.SpringerBriefs in Environment, Security, Development and Peace,2193-3162 ;3Human securityIsraelWater securityIsraelHuman securityJordanWater securityJordanIsraelForeign relationsJordanJordanForeign relationsIsraelHuman securityWater securityHuman securityWater security333.79500956333.910095694320sdnb333.7sdnb360sdnbSchafer Philip Jan1062910MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910437793103321Human and Water Security in Israel and Jordan2529048UNINA
