关系研究中越来越多的证据强调了考虑水、能源、粮食和环境之间相互依赖关系的可持续治理的重要性，而水外交为解决跨界性质的水冲突提供了必要的工具。因此，本文确定并评估了关系治理和水外交之间尚未实现的互补性，并讨论了将两者结合起来改善跨界流域管理的好处。两个案例研究——约旦nexus愿景中的一个污水处理厂和跨界赞比西河流域管理的一个研究项目——说明了确定的互补性及其对跨界自然资源合作管理的贡献。一方面，在关系治理中，考虑水、能源和粮食系统之间以及流域范围以外的协同效应和权衡，可以吸引更多不同的利益相关者，有助于在部门之间实现更平衡的协议，从而补充水外交目标。由于在几个自然资源系统之间更广泛地交流经验，联系方法所产生的丰富谈判可以促进水外交中的利益分享。同样，涉及各种部门和利益攸关方的国际联系发展项目最终可以通过国家间合作促进和平建设，并减少对有争议的自然资源的关注。另一方面，水外交提供了解决复杂性和捕捉政治背景的工具，这些工具克服了传统的技术和“最合理的解决方案”方法。通过联合事实发现、价值创造和协作适应性管理的应用，增加的价值包括产生一种共同的理解，这种理解将政治嵌入决策并促进互利。研究人员、决策者和私营部门之间需要进一步的合作和实地经验，以承认联系治理和水外交的互补性并据此采取行动，最终结果是促进跨界资源管理方面的合作。
Growing evidence within nexus research has highlighted the importance for sustainable governance of considering the interdependencies between water, energy, food and the environment, whereas water diplomacy has provided the necessary tools to address water conflicts of a transboundary nature. This paper therefore identifies and evaluates unrealised complementarities between nexus governance and water diplomacy, and discusses the benefits of integrating both for improved transboundary basin management. Two case studies - a wastewater treatment plant within the Jordan's nexus vision and a research project into management of the transboundary Zambezi River Basin - illustrate the identified complementarities and their contribution towards collaborative transboundary natural resources management. On one hand, the consideration of synergies and trade-offs between water, energy and food systems and beyond the river basin scale within nexus governance engages a larger diversity of stakeholders and can help realise more balanced agreements between sectors and hence complement water diplomacy goals. The enriched negotiations arising from a nexus approach can facilitate benefits-sharing in water diplomacy due to the broader exchange of experiences across several natural resources systems. Likewise, international nexus development projects involving a diverse range of sectors and stakeholders can ultimately facilitate peace building through inter-state cooperation and reduce the focus on disputed natural resources. On the other hand, water diplomacy provides tools to address complexity and capture political contexts that overcome the traditional technical and ‘most-rational-solution’ methods. With the application of joint fact finding, value creation and collaborative adaptive management, the added value includes the generation of a shared understanding that embeds politics in decision-making and promotes mutual gains. Further collaboration and on-the-ground experiences between researchers, policy makers and the private sector are needed, to acknowledge and act upon the complementarities of nexus governance and water diplomacy, with the final outcome of promoting cooperation in the management of transboundary resources.
