ABSTRACT This article proposes and fleshes out an analytical method designed to support efforts to transform inequitable and unsustainable transboundary water arrangements. Such ‘transformative analysis’ leverages socio-ecological thinking to critically evaluate the processes that have established and maintain an arrangement, including hydro-diplomacy itself. Transformative analysis facilitates the interpretation of strategies to deflect transformation, identification of destructive forms of cooperation, and strategic classification of opportunities for transformation. The assertions are premised on an understanding of the particularities of water conflict, and followed by a discussion of ways researchers may overcome the challenges inherent in the method.

水冲突转化分析

摘要 本文提出并充实了一种分析方法，旨在支持改变不公平和不可持续的跨界水资源安排的努力。这种“变革性分析”利用社会生态思维来批判性地评估已经建立和维持安排的过程，包括水文外交本身。转型分析有助于解释转移转型的战略，识别破坏性的合作形式，以及对转型机会的战略分类。这些断言的前提是了解水冲突的特殊性，然后讨论研究人员如何克服该方法固有的挑战。
