| Popis: | Binational water management along the US—Mexican border is changing as a result of new institutions and approaches growing out of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). In this study we examine the two leading border water-management agencies today, the venerable International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) and the new Border Environment Cooperation Commission (BECC), to understand better the post-NAFTA prospects for policy innovation in this issue area. The two agencies, IBWC and BECC, are analyzed from the perspective of two prominent theoretical explanations for agency behavior, structural choice politics and interorganizational implementation, to identify their political and institutional limitations as binational water-management agencies. We then chart the prospects for further innovation in binational water management along the US—Mexico border. |
