Information, Diplomacy, Politics, Water ResourcesAbstract
The dialog between nations is a delicate subject, so is the treatment of diplomatic information. The international cooperation between public politics becomes complex and essential, whose benefits embody a long-term period. The goal of this paper is to understand the handling of information in the diplomatic context and its influences on intercultural communication, delimitating the research universe to water policies. This investigation also talks about ethical questions in transnational basins management, and points out to the discussions on freshwater use and the administration of the planet's water resources. It also outlines the possibilities of transboundary conflicts because of water goods shared by two or more nations. It discourses about external policies and the exercise of diplomatic activities as national strategies to preventing intercultural predicaments and the promotion of a global well-being. The bibliographies considered not only such themes, but as well as the international forums between countries discussing the subject, too. The results build an interdisciplinary mixture between Information, Diplomacy and Politics. It is a matter of expectation, therefore, to contribute to an academic vision on the prioritizing of this subject both in governmental and scientific agenda.Downloads

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
