Abstract

ABSTRACT The preponderant focus of the negotiations between Ethiopia and Egypt over the use of the Nile/the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is on material aspects of water security, ignoring non-material, emotional attachments. Using ontological security as an analytical lens, it is argued that the GERD will lead to re-structuring Egypt’s state identity conception while potentially serving as an anchor to Ethiopia’s changing ontological security. If the negotiations are to transform interactions and build a cooperative routinized relationship more time and resources should be spent on building trust, especially in constructing more compatible state identities.
埃塞俄比亚复兴大坝谈判的新维度:埃及和埃塞俄比亚的本体论安全
摘要埃塞俄比亚和埃及之间关于尼罗河/埃塞俄比亚复兴大坝(GERD)使用的谈判主要集中在水安全的物质方面,而忽略了非物质和情感上的依恋。利用本体论安全作为分析视角,有人认为,GERD将导致埃及国家身份概念的重构,同时可能成为埃塞俄比亚不断变化的本体论安全的锚。如果谈判要改变互动,建立一种合作的常规关系,就应该花费更多的时间和资源来建立信任,尤其是在构建更兼容的国家身份方面。
