It bears in mind the additional complexity of management options in large international river basins which asks for international cooperation when objecting sustainable development. The thesis argues that large river basins cannot be regarded as either consolidated or fragmented international systems but as representing a variety of levels of system consolidation at the same time. The research tries to answer the question if the level of system consolidation influences compliance to international environmental regulations at the project level. It chooses for a comparison between river engineering projects in different countries along the Danube River and results in advices for project developers and policy makers to enhance compliance to environmental regulations. date: 2012 date_type: published thesis_type: master degree_programme: EIP tutors_name: Dijk, Dr. ir.
