Multi-track water diplomacy: current and potential future cooperation over the Brahmaputra River Basin

Year: 2018

Collections: Scientific Publications, Review article

Topics: Water, Water diplomacy

Authors: Yumiko Yasuda, Douglas Hill, Dipankar Aich, Patrick Huntjens, Ashok Swain

Countries:

Source: Water International

This article analyzes key factors affecting transboundary water cooperation in the Brahmaputra River basin at multiple scales. The analysis of multi-track diplomacy reaffirms the potential of actor-inclusive approaches, arguing for a need to go beyond purely focusing on formal legal norms and consider the possibilities of cultural norms of informal processes of cooperation. Various ‘windows of opportunity’ exist in the current phase of the Brahmaputra basin’s development, leading to exploration of a Zone of Possible Effective Cooperation, arising from the effort to scale up multi-track initiatives as well as broader geo-politicaleconomic changes happening across and beyond the basin.


Anchoring water diplomacy – The legal nature of international river basin organizations

Year: 2018

Collections: Scientific Publications, Review article

Topics: Water, Water diplomacy

Authors: Susanne Schmeier, Zaki Shubber

Countries:

Source: Journal of Hydrology

Water diplomacy needs institutional anchoring. International River Basin Organizations (RBOs) – being the result of diplomatic efforts by riparian states intending to create a framework for cooperation between themselves over shared water bodies – can provide such institutional anchors. RBOs ensure that agreements to cooperate are turned into a long-term commitment by riparian states to jointly manage shared water resources and, in turn, foster mutually beneficial cooperation over time. RBOs have been the subject of detailed examinations of their conceptual core, of their manifold functions, of their effectiveness in achieving their goals and so forth. However, the legal nature of these entities has so far received limited attention notwithstanding its significance in empowering RBOs to act as institutional anchors for water diplomacy.
