| Summary: | Building real cooperation on transboundary waters is always a lengthy and complex journey. Embracing cooperation
is no simple task for a nation state, not least because of the perceived costs of the erosion of sovereignty, however

are also examples of robust cooperation. This essay examines these questions through a practitioner’s lens to draw
a few lessons from experience on why countries cooperate and how cooperation can be achieved. |
