Throughout history rivers have always been a source of life and of
conflict. This book investigates the Central Commission for the
Navigation of the Rhine's (CCNR) efforts to secure the principle of
freedom of navigation on Europe's prime river. The book explores
how the most fundamental change in the history of international
river governance arose from European security concerns. It examines
how the CCNR functioned as an ongoing experiment in reconciling
national and common interests that contributed to the emergence of
European prosperity in the course of the long nineteenth century.
In so doing, it shows that modern conceptions and practices of
security cannot be understood without accounting for prosperity
considerations and prosperity policies. Incorporating research from
archives in Great Britain, Germany, and the Netherlands, as well as
the recently opened CCNR archives in France, this study
operationalises a truly transnational perspective that effectively
opens the black box of the oldest and still existing international
organisation in the world in its first centenary. In showing how
security-prosperity considerations were a driving force in the
unfolding of Europe's prime river in the nineteenth century, it is
of interest to scholars of politics and history, including the
history of international relations, European history, transnational
history and the history of security, as well as those with an
interest in current themes and debates about transboundary water
governance. The Open Access version of this book, available at
