Theoretical Foundation • River- basin approach as a driver philosophy for RSAP’s contribution to regional integration • Peace and stability through cooperation: regional hydropolitics shaped by this thinking • Transboundary river basins perceived as composites of parts of Member States • Aggregates & disaggregates of national data will be required for river basin accounts • A regional scale hybrid system of Global Water Governance that is blended with Monocentric & Polycentric Water Governance models (Lankfort & Hepworth, 2010) is assumed • A Gradualist approach to institutional development (North, 1990) for EAW is envisioned • Efforts on effective institutionalisation of EAW will result in sustainability of EAW practice • EAW will catalyse unlocking of water potential for regional development
