This chapter examines the diverse array of processes of institution-building that have emerged in response to the increasingly transnational challenges of freshwater ecosystem governance. Although some of these processes reflect the traditional confines of interstate diplomacy, based on state-centred authority, others transcend the confines of a narrowly statist framework. Expert networks, based on a new knowledge paradigm of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and advocacy networks engaging controversies such as water infrastructure projects and water marketisation, have become increasingly important mechanisms for the generation of new water norms and the shaping of water-related governance practices.
