The multi-track water diplomacy framework: a legal and political economy analysis for advancing cooperation over shared waters
The Multi-track Water Diplomacy Framework specifies and tests a conceptual and analytical water diplomacy framework that identifies the key factors that affect water cooperation. Knowledge of these key determinants of cooperation not only contributes to the existing body of academic knowledge, but can also help to bolster cooperation over shared waters. This publication is developed within the context of the research project ‘Water Diplomacy: Making Water Cooperation Work,’ led by The Hague Institute for Global Justice, in collaboration with the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), International Centre for Water Cooperation (ICWC) (under the auspices of UNESCO), International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Uppsala University, University of Otago, University College Cork and Tufts University Water Diplomacy Program.
