Earthscan Studies in Water Resource Management Series
Content:
This book focuses on three major concepts and approaches that have gained currency in policy and governance circles, both globally and regionally--scarcity and crisis, marketization and privatization, and participation. It provides a historical and contextual overview of each of these ideas as they have emerged in global and regional policy and governance circles and pairs these with in-depth case studies that examine manifestations and contestations of water governance internationally
