A comparative analysis of these two global water conventions and the 1995 Mekong Agreement reveals that all three instruments are generally compatible. Nonetheless, the international legal principles and processes set forth in the two conventions can render the Mekong Agreement more up-to-date, robust and practical. The Governance Regime of the Mekong River Basin: Can the Global Water Conventions Strengthen the 1995 Mekong Agreement? contends that strengthening the Agreement would be timely, given the increasing pressures associated with the rapid hydropower development within the basin and the gradually emerging disputes therein. Due to these fast-moving developments, Kinna and Rieu-Clarke strongly recommend that the Mekong states should seriously consider joining both conventions in order to buttress and clarify key provisions of the 1995 Mekong Agreement. 410 0$aBrill Research Perspectives. 606 $aWater resources development$zMekong River Watershed 606 $aWater-supply$zMekong River Watershed 615 0$aWater resources development 615 0$aWater-supply 676 $a333.91150959 700 $aKinna$b Re?my$01066051 702 $aRieu-Clarke$b Alistair 801 0$bWaSeSS 801 1$bWaSeSS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910251454903321 996 $aThe governance regime of the Mekong River Basin$92564495 997 $aUNINA
