This study reexamines a model of cooperation for transboundary waters derived from considerations of transaction costs and international relations. The model of Lee and Lee (2013) is revised and operationalized for quantitative testing. Results are analyzed based on an independently developed index reflecting the principled contents of international fresh water agreements. Fifty-two agreements from four basins were coded for core principles of the 1997 United Nations Watercourses Convention, along with related elements indicating deeper levels of institutionalization, to generate index values. We find support for the model’s predictions regarding the Rhine-Meuse and Mekong basins examined in the initial study; however, extending the model to two further basins is less straightforward. Nonetheless, the model may provide insight into factors affecting the management of shared waters, and considerations of certain qualifying factors regarding its application to the Amazon and Incomati basins lend support to its predictive validity. The index developed here may offer a detailed means of assessing the level of cooperation present within any given multilateral river basin.
