This paper discusses the recent legal and institutional developments along with the political hurdles leading to a post-Soviet regime for managing the Danube River and promoting sustainable development in the basin. After reviewing the geography and ecology, the conflicts and political issues of the Danube, the current efforts at building cooperative institutions are discussed. The question whether the Danube will be exclusively the responsibility of the basin countries, will include the Russian Federation and other countries of the Black Sea, or will be the responsibility of pan-European institutions in close connection with the European Union is addressed. date: 1996 date_type: published publisher: University of New Mexico School of Law official_url: http://lawschool.unm.edu/nrj/volumes/36/3/04_linnerooth_danube.pdf creators_browse_id: 182 full_text_status: public publication: Natural Resources Journal volume: 36 number: 3 pagerange: 521-545 refereed: TRUE issn: 0028-0739 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_project: no fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Linnerooth-Bayer, J. & Murcott, S.
