This paper explores the dynamics of environmental conflict and cooperation under the conditions of relative power symmetry and involvement of various actors (not predominantly state-actors); especially, environmental groups. It analyses the highly-contested water issue in the Danube river basin that refers to the multi-purpose ''Gabčíkovo-Nagymaros'' project and its alleged detrimental impact on the environment. In order to present a thorough explаnation of cooperative efforts, the paper discusses the Hungaria-Slovakian water conflict through following variables: (1) structural variables that include both (a) regional power distribution between disputants and regional countries, and, (b) issue-power distribution; (2) type of conflict (strategic versus symbolic); and (3) linkage variables that include a number of tactics to tie a particular water dispute to other issue/issues. The conflict analysis shows that the water dispute between Hungary and Slovakia involves dynamics that include a complex network of interactions between a number of domestic and international policy actors. It also indicates the conditions under which a voluntary mode of cooperation can produce unsatisfactory results.
