How can we explain the over-exploitation and degradation of natural
resources in the countries of the South? Population growth, poverty
and problems associated with common property resource management
have been common themes in this debate, yet insufficient attention
has been paid to how traditional political relations and local
perceptions affect natural resource capture and resource
allocation. This is especially evident with respect to groups and
communities at the political and geographical peripheries of state
influence and control for whom self-identity is constructed around
notions of autonomy and food self-sufficiency. This informative
book addresses this omission by discussing water resource
allocation and management. It focuses in particular on the
socio-economic and political contexts which influence approaches to
and determine practices of water management. Taking the example of
the tribal communities of the Sa'dah basin in the northern Yemen,
it analyzes the politics of environmental change, with particular
reference to groundwater resource degradation, within the
conceptual framework of political ecology .
