Governance and international rivers -- Polycentricity of world politics -- Institutional evolution in the Mekong and the Rhine -- Multilayer environmental governance in the Rhine -- Influence of non-state actors in governance of the Rhine -- Issues, interests and actors in the Pak Mun Dam project -- Influence of non-state actors on Pak Mun Dam -- Polycentric environmental governance.

This important book employs the theory of polycentricity, a system with several centers as an analytical concept to explain the multilayered international environmental governance of river basins. It introduces a new methodological framework to deconstruct and investigate the dynamics of citizens, states and non-state actors in world politics via the context of river basin governance.
