| Summary: | Building effective cooperation on transboundary waters
is always a lengthy and complex journey. Embracing
cooperation is no simple task for a nation state,
not least because of the perceived costs of the erosion
of sovereignty, however small that erosion might be.
While there are many examples of where cooperation is
non-existent or weak, there are also examples – across
countries and across time – of effective cooperation.
This essay examines these issues through a practitioner’s
lens to draw a few lessons from experience on
why countries cooperate and how cooperation can
be achieved. |
