The article focuses on the problems of transboundary water governance in Central Asia from the perspective of Niklas Luhmann’s social systems theory. The authors examine why, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it became difficult to coordinate the use of the water-energy infrastructure of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers. During the Soviet period, water, energy, and agriculture were managed through a centralized system. However, after 1991, each country began to develop its own national policy. This strengthened contradictions between upstream countries, which need water for hydropower production, and downstream countries, which need water for irrigation.

This research presents a systematic analysis of 123 agreements concerning small transboundary tributaries within the Syr Darya River Basin, highlighting the importance of sub-basin cooperation in Central Asia. The study identifies a significant increase in treaty-making activity during the first decade of the 21st century, demonstrating that local-level cooperation can remain effective even when basin-wide cooperation faces challenges. Most of the analyzed agreements are regulatory in nature and focus on technical issues, including water allocation, operation and maintenance of hydraulic infrastructure, and the management of shared water resources.
