Abstract
La Plata river basin is the second largest hydrological system in South America. It encompass five countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay), an area of 3.1 millions km² and the most important South American industrial regions. During the last decades of twentieth century the border regions among La Plata’s countries observed the expansion of the agricultural frontier, and their integration with worldwide commodity chains. Hence, sustainable governance of shared water resources emerged as an issue of transboundary politics. Institutional actions were undertaken by national and subnational governments and by international organizations, such as the Comité Intergovernamental Coordenador (CIC Plata), an institution responsible to coordinate national actions along the shared river basin. Therefore, this paper analyses the CIC Plata’s actions addressing sustainability of transboundary waters. It is assessed the project documents and achievements data in order to analyse sustainable transboundary actions within La Plata river basin.
