This special issue is dedicated to research on theoretical analysis and application of game theory concerning to problems in managing water resources. We welcome both conceptual and empirical contributions regardless of whether it relates to regional, national or international water resources problems. Potential topics/issues include, but are not limited to (i) cooperative water resources allocation among competing uses; (ii) the interplay of set up non-cooperative and cooperative game theoretic simulation models for analyzing water conflicts in a river basin; (iii) managing the water, food and energy nexus; (iv) the role of international water management organisations/agreements; and (v) the role of linking issues for managing water resources under externalities.
