“…While this has been criticized as an act of prolonging the process-while Laos moved ahead with the construction of XHP, albeit with a redesign of the project to include more environmental impact mitigation measure, amounting to additional costs of US-$100 million-it is nonetheless a demonstration of countries' continued will to cooperate and to jointly address their disagreement instead of escalating the conflict verbally or through other forms of conflictive action. This makes the Mekong dam disagreement different from other basins that have faced similar conflicts, such as the Aral Sea Basin in the context of the Rogun Dam or the Nile River Basin in the context of GERD, where no consultation process on the basis of pre-defined mechanisms and managed by a basin organization mandated to engage in such issues was conducted, dialogue could not always be maintained and the conflict escalated up to a level where countries threatened the use of force (Ito et al, 2016;Lawson, 2017;Cascão et al, 2021;Sehring and Ibatullin, 2021).…”

“…Considering the demographic projections, inadequate regional cooperation in energy and water sharing appears to be a specific obstacle to achieving a sustainable transition [86]. The conflict between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan regarding the joint use of the new Rogun hydropower plant construction remains unresolved, despite the intervention of donors [87]. All of the above indirectly indicates the unwillingness of the government and institutions to commit to a sustainable energy transition.…”

“…Many developing countries have major undeveloped hydropower potential, and there are opportunities to develop hydropower combined with other economic activities such as irrigation (Lacombe et al 2014). Competition for hydropower across country borders can lead to conflict, which could be exacerbated if climate alters rainfall and streamflow (Ito et al 2016).…”
