Analysis in the thesis, through its methodological approach and analytical frameworks, illustrates how legal rules are influential in defining behaviours (of actors) and outcomes in those processes in the shared river basins, but not necessarily through the creation of ‘predictable rules' and ‘institutional structures' as most IR scholars or positivist lawyers speculate. Ultimately, the thesis offers an opportunity to reassess the role of legal rules and provide for their contributions in those processes in the shared river basins using the four selected case-studies of the shared river basins of Nile, Mekong, Indus, and Jordan.
