Fresh water, salt water, and brackish water in Asia, Oceania, and
the West Pacific are at the focus of this book. From oceans and
rivers to lagoons, billabongs and estuaries, it draws on water's
many formations in debating human relationships as a major source
of life and a major factor in contemporary politics. Water access
and the environmental and social problems of development are some
of the major issues of concern in this century. This book brings
multidisciplinary perspectives - from the angle of social sciences,
cultural theory, policy-making, environmental studies and physical
sciences - to research and decision-making processes. It is
organized around the themes of fresh and salt, and borders and
sovereignty. By situating water as both an object of thematic
enquiry and as a lens of description and analysis in pursuing these
themes, the contributors address the physical descriptors of water
and water flow, interrogating the politicized administrations of
water in closely corresponding regions. Water, Sovereignty and
Borders in Asia and Oceania identifies new discursive possibilities
for thinking about water in theory and in practice. It presents
those discourses that seem most useful in addressing the multiple
crises that the region is facing and thus will be of interest to
scholars of Asian studies, geography, the environment and cultural
studies.
