Abstract
Considering the growing trend of water shortage and crisis in the world, the conceptual and conceptual framework of hydro-hegemony, which is part of the new ideas and concepts in geopolitics and hydropolitics, is of increasing importance to predict the behaviors and strategies of the hydro-hegemonic and non-hydro-hegemonic actors have been favored at the level of transboundary basins. Since there is no consensus on the conceptual framework of hydro-hegemony among hydropolitical science thinkers, and hydro-hegemony as well as its related models have been mainly used to analyze several important transboundary basins in the world; As a result, this research seeks to propose the completion of the conceptual framework of hydro-hegemony so that this framework, in addition to being more complete, also has the ability to adapt to different transboundary basins in the world. In this regard, the Aras transboundary basin, which is shared by the 4 countries of Iran, Türkiye, the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia, and the hydro-hegemonic relations in this basin can be investigated due to the multiplicity of state actors in it and their sometimes different and conflicting interests, has been selected as a case study for the upcoming research. This research is theoretical-fundamental, descriptive-analytical and based on the causal research method. Finally, the research has reached a series of changes, omissions and additions in the conceptual framework of hydro-hegemony, which is mainly based on increasing the role of power in the concept of hydro-hegemony and its influence on other elements of this framework.
