Analyzing the Mekong River Basin in the Context of Water Diplomacy and Regional Cooperation

Summary/Abstract: Disputes related to water resources in international relations have been going on since its historic times. The actors’ desire to use and manage water in an effective way, and the fact that water has become the focus due to its importance, increase the intensity of disputes today. These conflicts between states prevent the formation of cooperation mechanisms regionally and trigger environmental problems by preventing the efficient use of water. In the context of water resources disputes, water diplomacy is used to prevent conflict between states and to manage tensions. The conflict of interests of the regional states regarding the use and management of water resources and the establishment of a cooperation structure at the regional level by using the water diplomacy framework constitutes the basis of an important search within the problematic question. The effectiveness of water diplomacy in the current disagreement with the Mekong River and the development and sustainability of this event in regional cooperation were discussed at the core of the study.
