SummaryIn this paper we present a framework for analysing transboundary water governance complexes, illustrated in the Mekong Region. In this region, the sharing of waters between countries adds a critical dimension to decision making about producing food and energy, maintaining vital ecosystems, and sustaining livelihoods. Hydropower, dams, diversions, expanding cities and irrigation schemes are all in the mix. The key elements of the framework are: context, drivers, arenas, tools, decisions and impacts. The use of deliberation, technical and advocacy tools is explored and normative governance improvements are suggested.
► A framework is presented for analysing transboundary water governance complexes.
► The framework is illustrated by examples from Mekong transboundary water governance.
► Mekong water negotiations being slowly transformed by deliberation-technical-advocacy tools.
► Understanding the complex can guide efforts towards more deliberative water governance.
