On contingency, confidence and trust: how international water law stabilizes expectations under conditions of uncertainty
How is international water law able to stabilize expectations amid uncertain conditions? We use modern systems theory to hypothesize using the Lancang–Mekong River context. We propose: Hypothesis 1: Equitable utilization norms incorporate variant possibilities to solve the problem of contingency; Hypothesis 2: No significant harm norms select expectations worth protecting to solve the problem of confidence; Hypothesis 3: Cooperation norms retain learning opportunities to solve the problem of trust. Our aim is not to test correspondence with reality, but to stimulate understanding of international water law. Specifically, we evaluate how system problems of contingency, confidence and trust shape laws’ function.
期刊介绍:
Water International is the official journal of the International Water Resources Association (IWRA), founded in 1972 to serve as an international gateway to the people, ideas and networks that are critical to the sustainable management of water resources around the world. Water International''s articles, state-of-the-art reviews, technical notes and other matter are policy-relevant and aimed at communicating in-depth knowledge to a multidisciplinary and international community. Water International publishes both individual contributions and thematic special issues and sections on cutting edge issues.
All individual manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal and peer review by the Deputy Editor in Chief and the Associate Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by at least one independent, anonymous expert referee. All external peer review is double blind. Thematic issues and sections are handled under comparable procedures by guest editors under the oversight of the Editor in Chief.
