This paper presents a study of the Mekong River Commission (MRC) and the International Commission for Protection of the Rhine (ICPR). The primary focus of this study is to analyze and explain how the issues, interests, and participation of local communities and non-state actors, such as industries and non-governmental organizations, are incorporated or not incorporated into transnational environmental governance in the MRC and ICPR regimes. Analyzing issues, interests and actors across three layers - local, national, and transnational - of the MRC and ICPR, this paper argues that the spirit of democracy can be enhanced in global environmental governance.
