In this paper, we review key contributions to social sciences literature on international freshwater issues. This literature has exposed serious flaws in the water wars argument, but has also produced many useful insights into the conditions under which water allocation and pollution problems lead to cooperation or conflict and how key problems could be dealt with. We focus on international freshwater issues, and on contributions by political scientists, leaving out a large body of international water management literature produced by scholars in law, history, economics, anthropology, and related disciplines.
