【 摘 要 】

Building real cooperation on transboundary waters is always a lengthy and complex journey. Embracing cooperationis no simple task for a nation state, not least because of the perceived costs of the erosion of sovereignty, howeversmall that erosion might be. While there are many examples of where cooperation is non-existent or weak, thereare also examples of robust cooperation. This essay examines these questions through a practitioner’s lens to drawa few lessons from experience on why countries cooperate and how cooperation can be achieved.
