Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The paper examines the importance of enforcement mechanisms in agreements regulating river resources. The paper compares compacts signed between different states in the United States and treaties signed between countries. One argument that is often made in international relations literature is that the absence of a centralized government makes it difficult to reach agreements and even more difficult to enforce these agreements. In the United States the federal government is available to enforce agreements, which sets these agreements apart from international treaties. By examining instances in the federal system when agreements fail to accomplish their objective we hope to illustrate that the presence of a centralized enforcement mechanism is not a necessary condition for a successful agreement. We will also examine how countries have been successful in drafting treaties without a centralized government.
