Abstrakt: The book "Border Water: The Politics of U.S. – Mexico Transboundary Water Management, 1945 – 2015" by Stephen Paul Mumme provides a historical account of the development of governance related to transboundary and border water resources between the United States and Mexico. The book analyzes the period from 1945 to 2015 and focuses on the U.S. perspective, acknowledging the limited examination of Mexican water archives. It explores topics such as equity and differential capacity, criticisms of the treaty and the commission, and the current situation. The book highlights the success of binational water management compared to other areas of U.S.-Mexico relations and emphasizes the importance of local and institutionalized approaches to water management.
