国际河流水权的几何裁决
The geometric adjudication of water rights in international rivers
摘要
We study the adjudication of water rights in international rivers. We characterize allocation rules that formalize focal principles to deal with water disputes in a basic model. Central to our analysis is a family of geometric rules that implement concatenated transfers downstream. They can be seen as formalizing Limited Territorial Sovereignty, as suggested in the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development. We apply our rules to the case of the Nile River, with a long history of disputes between downstream and upstream nations.
中文摘要
我们研究国际河流中的水权裁定问题。我们在一个基本模型中刻画了将焦点原则形式化以处理水资源争端的分配规则。我们分析的核心是一类在下游实施级联转移的几何规则族。这些规则可被视为对《里约环境与发展宣言》所建议的有限领土主权的形式化。我们将这些规则应用于尼罗河案例，该河流下游与上游国家之间有着悠久的争端历史。
