Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: While much of the international relations literature has focused on the conflictgenerating potential of river use disputes, we focus on the politics of cooperation. Our theoretical framework investigates the demand, catalytic, and inhibiting influences on whether the riparian countries will enter into general and water supply river-managing treaties. Empirical results for the 1900-93 time period reveal that economic development (a demand factor), democracy, and common IGO memberships (catalysts) increase the chances for a treaty, while the lack of common security interests and balanced power configurations act as inhibiting factors. The demand and catalyst variables exercise substantially more influence, giving support to the rarely examined argument that factors associated with Kantian peace not only help states avoid militarized confrontations but also help foster positive peace. In the water supply context, however, the power dynamics given by the up/downstream river pattern cripple the possibility for the treaty. Our findings indicate that optimistic predictions expecting a rise in Third World river cooperation are largely unwarranted.
