Results

Abstract

The analytic results are summarized at both the treaty level and at the basin level. By investigating the conflict level and attributes associated with a particular treaty, a measurement of how the treaties mechanisms affect a specific scope of conflict is obtained. The reason for the inclusion of the basin level analysis is to examine the impact that a treaty may have at minimizing conflict when combined with all other treaties in the basin. The results are further separated into categories of climate-specific complaints, all types of complaints, and treaties with no complaints in order to come to general conclusions about what attributes best mitigate and manage conflict. The strength of each treaty is summarized using both the Literature Review based count method and the MLR methodologies. Climate model-based future scenarios are presented within the case studies.
