Vandens saugumas ir hidropolitinių santykių dinamika Centrinėje Azijoje ; Water security and hydropolitical dynamics in Central Asia
Water security of is a emerging paradigm, is also increasingly used both in political theory and practice. Water security is connected with all other security sectores. Central Asia water security is connected with ecological, economic and energy security. Since the end of the Cold War in IR literature was the predicted water wars in XXIst century. In this master's thesis used scientifical research information shows, that the extreme of water wars, or the extreme of water peace are only theoretical. Even if water security is an issue of existential importance, particularly in transboundary waters case and hydropolitical security complexes. Central Asian water security forms the region state's international relations. Constructivist theory explains that water security is what particular country sees it. Central Asia hydropolitical relations are dynamic, so the concept of water security. New theoretical research matrix for transboundary waters TWINS and its application to Central Asia shows, that water here is securitized. Securitized transboundary waters can deepen conflict and cooperation. Hydropolitical security complex can be researched trough various international relations theories, in case of Central Asia analysing balance of power and rise of hydrohegemony. Hydrohegemony power is based on four pillars: the geographical, material, bargaining and ideational powers. Central Asia countries are competing for hydrohegemony positions. After World Bank support for CASA-1000 and Rogun Dam projects, negotiating, geographical, ideological powers are accumulated in the upper reaches of Central Asian transboundary waters. Tajikistan can become a hydrohegemony with support from third countries and international organizations.
