Summary:

"Interdisciplinary and international in scope, this detailed book examines the types of compliance and implementation mechanisms that can support transboundary water cooperation. Alistair Rieu-Clarke draws upon a range of theoretical accounts, case studies from the Danube, Orange-Senqu and Mekong rivers, and treaty practice to provide recommendations for the design and revision of transboundary water agreements. Delving into the role of international law in promoting treaty implementation and compliance, Rieu-Clarke reviews the extent to which these mechanisms are considered within the text of over 400 transboundary water agreements. Implementing Transboundary Water Agreements is an important resource for academics, researchers and students of international law and international relations as well as those specialising in water law. Legal professionals, inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations and policymakers will equally benefit from the book's practical insights"-- Provided by publisher.
