Abstract
This volume investigates the need for a more open and inter-disciplinary dialogue on the nexus of food security, water security, and energy security in the Arab Region. The water security challenges of the Arab Region are well known and well documented, including by some of the authors in this volume. The water security concerns link directly with the achievement of food and energy security but more importantly, also to broader regional security and peace. It has been argued in a number of chapters that achieving sustainable economic development is tied to the security of the water-energy-food nexus, which is in turn essential for achieving sustained peace. Achieving these lofty objectives is much more challenging and a discussion of various approaches is provided throughout the volume; this chapter intends to provide a broader overview.
