Design and impact of water treaties Managing climate change / [electronic resource] : by Matthew Zentner. - X, 214 p. online resource. - Springer Theses .
Introduction -- Literature Review -- Hypotheses, Definitions, and Explanatory Mechanisms -- Data and Methods: Treaties, Power, Scarcity, and Conflict -- Results -- Case Studies-Application of the Results -- Conclusions.
This study presents a unique way to utilize the existing literature to explain the success of treaties in managing hydrologic stress. Literature-derived core concepts are summarized as seven treaty mechanisms categories (specificity, uncertainty management, enforcement, communications, flexibility, integrativeness, and scale) and are hypothesized as important for shaping the institutional resiliency of a treaty. Treaty design is shown to have a relevant and important role in shaping basin management so that nations may better achieve their goals in a changing climate.
