Those basins, and those who care about them, will gain immensely from Dr. Schmeier's contribution, as will the larger world desperately trying to manage our scarce natural resources effectively, efficiently, and sustainably. For her hard work and the accessible package within which it presented, we owe Dr. Schmeier a debt of gratitude. - Aaron T. Wolf, Oregon State University Transboundary waters can be a catalyst for cooperation if certain enabling factors exist. Dr. Schmeier's book is an important contribution to the ongoing scientific discussion on the management of natural resources in international river basins, with a particular focus on enabling factors for effective cooperation. It is also a unique knowledge base for practitioners responsible for elaborating, improving or implementing institutional arrangements for cooperation. Its immense value lies in the lessons learned from practical cases, presented in a structured analysis of existing River Basin Organizations as well as the brilliantly elaborated principles for good governance of RBOs, ultimately contributing to cooperative sustainable development of river basin for the benefit of all riparian countries. - Fritz Holzwarth, Former German Water and Marine Director, Former President of the Danube-, Rhine- and Elbe River Protection Commissions
