This book chapter examines the compliance and actual performance of an international water agreement in the Naryn/Syr Darya Basin in Central Asia. The authors analyze the 1998 agreement, which was designed to regulate the operation of the Toktogul Reservoir by balancing Kyrgyzstan’s need for winter hydropower production with Uzbekistan’s and Kazakhstan’s need for summer irrigation water. The main argument of the article is that formal compliance with an agreement does not necessarily mean that the agreement is effective in solving the real water allocation problem. Using the policy performance metric (PER), the authors show that although compliance with the agreement was relatively high, its actual performance was low and highly variable. The article concludes that the existing water management system in the Naryn/Syr Darya Basin requires urgent institutional reform.

The article examines the challenges of cooperative management of transboundary water resources in Central Asia. The author analyzes water relations among Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan through Ulrich Beck’s concept of “risk society.” The article argues that water scarcity, the transboundary nature of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers, the Soviet legacy of centralized water management, artificial borders, and ethnic tensions create significant risks for regional stability.
