Abstract
15 years ago, a discussion started in Political Geography about the role of International Relations theories in understanding transboundary water issues. Furlong drew attention to the fact that the application of IR theories in transboundary water analysis is “implicit and unacknowledged”, which means a significant constraint for research programs. Zeitoun and Warner also admitted that the importance of the explicit integration of political theories “cannot be said to be truly resonant yet” in the global water community. Since then, the connections between IR theories and transboundary water analysis have been problematized more intensely, and explicitly theoretical accounts on transboundary waters are being published from time to time. The aim of this Introduction is to prepare the ground for the collection of the latest state-of-the-art findings of scholars working on related issues with reviewing the main traditional approaches towards theorizing transboundary waters within IR.
