9781138928275 1138928275 Governance of global water resources presents one of the most confounding challenges in contemporary natural resource governance. With considerable government, citizen and financial donor attention devoted to a range of international, transnational and domestic laws and policies aimed at protecting, managing and sustainably using fresh and coastal marine water resources, this book proposes that sustainable water outcomes require a trans-jurisdictional approach to water governance. Focusing on the concept of trans-jurisdictional water governance the book diagnoses barriers and identifies pathways to coherent and coordinated institutional arrangements between and across different bodies of laws at local, national, regional and international levels. It includes case studies from the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the United States and Southeast Asia. Leading specialists offer insights into the pretence and the promise of trans-jurisdictional water governance and provide readers, including students, practitioners, policy-makers and academics, with a basis for better analysing, articulating and synthesising standards of good trans-jurisdictional water governance both in theory and in practice.", Water has no respect for arbitrary, human-defined borders and institutions, and presents one of the most confounding governance challenges in contemporary natural resource management. This book proposes that sustainable water governance requires trans-jurisdictional water governance, defined as legal and policy responses to the conservation, management and use of water resources that cross administrative borders. With considerable government, citizen and financial donor attention having been devoted to developing a range of international, transnational and national laws and policies to protect, manage and sustainably use both fresh and coastal marine water resources, the book seeks to achieve coherence and institutional coordination between and across different bodies of laws at the local, national, regional and international levels. It includes case studies from the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, United States and the Mekong in Southeast Asia. Overall the book demonstrates the challenges and responses to water law and governance at different scales and contexts around the world."
