Governance of the binational basin of the Bermejo and Grande de Tarija rivers between Argentina and Bolivia (1995–2019)

The transboundary basin of the Bermejo and Grande de Tarija rivers, shared between Argentina and Bolivia, is a key area in the water system of the La Plata Basin. The governance of this basin presents particular challenges in its socio-environmental and economic-productive dimensions. The objective of this article is to analyze the Argentine-Bolivian governance in the integrated management of this binational basin during 1995–2019, within the institutional framework of its Binational Commission and the participation of the stakeholders in decision-making. The theoretical framework uses the neo-institutionalist perspective of International Relations, from the international regimes and governance theories.
