Abstract

ABSTRACT The Jordan Valley, including the two interstate regions of the Dead Sea and Aqaba, is the focus of international cooperation and economic development for peace and confidence building in the aftermath of the ‘Declaration of Principles” between. Israel and the PLO on September 13, 1993, and the “Treaty of Peace” between Jordan and Israel on October 26, 1994. Technopolitical strategic alternatives with application of membrane separation technology such as RO desalination are proposed. These alternatives include two schemes: (i) the lower Jordan Peace Drainage Canal, and (ii) Aqaba hybrid seawater pumped-storage for cogeneration. Assessment of the technopolitical alternatives aims at sharing the resources and benefits among the riparian states, taking into account incentives for ecopolitical decision making, interstate regional economic development, and the will to cooperate for peace.
