International Regulatory Co-operation: Case Studies, Vol. 3
Transnational Private Regulation and Water Management
The world is becoming increasingly global. This raises important challenges for regulatory
processes which still largely emanate from domestic jurisdictions. In order to eliminate
unnecessary regulatory divergences and to address the global challenges pertaining
to systemic risks, the environment, and human health and safety, governments increasingly
seek to better articulate regulations across borders and to ensure greater enforcement
of rules. But, surprisingly, the gains that can be achieved through greater co-ordination
of rules and their application across jurisdictions remain largely under-analysed.
This volume complements the stocktaking report on International Regulatory Co-operation:
Rules for a Global World by providing evidence on regulatory co-operation in the area
of transboundary water management and through the fast development of transnational
private regulation.
