This article explores the legal challenges of managing transboundary watercourses in Central Asia in the context of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The authors analyze whether existing international, regional, and bilateral legal mechanisms are sufficient for regulating shared rivers such as the Syr Darya, Chu, Talas, Irtysh, Ural, and others.

Water governance for sustainable development: International practices and implications for the Mekong Delta region

Source: Journal of Economic Development

This scientific paper examines water resource management as a key factor in achieving sustainable development, with a particular focus on the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. The authors analyze global challenges, including freshwater scarcity driven by population growth and climate change, which contribute to droughts and soil salinization. The paper reviews international water governance models implemented in OECD and Latin American countries and identifies common challenges, such as financial constraints and information gaps. The study highlights the critical dependence of Vietnam’s agricultural sector on effective water governance and the efficient allocation of water resources. International experience is presented as a valuable foundation for reforming institutional frameworks and preventing social conflicts arising from water scarcity. The authors conclude by emphasizing the need for a flexible and adaptive water governance system capable of responding to contemporary environmental challenges.




Relative Water Scarcity and Country Relations along Cross-Boundary Rivers: Evidence from the Aral Sea Basin

This scientific article examines the impact of relative water scarcity on international relations in the Aral Sea Basin. The author distinguishes between absolute water scarcity, determined by the overall availability of water resources, and relative water scarcity, defined as temporary deviations from normal water availability within a specific river basin. Based on an analysis of hydrological and political data from the Amu Darya and Syr Darya river basins in Central Asia, the study concludes that short-term water shortages stimulate states to take more active policy actions. The findings demonstrate that periods of water scarcity increase the likelihood of both cooperative and conflictual interactions among neighboring countries. This suggests that states employ a variety of foreign policy instruments to address transboundary water challenges under conditions of resource variability. The results highlight the importance of considering climate variability when assessing and forecasting transboundary water disputes and cooperation.
