This book presents a historically situated explanation of the rise
of global water governance and the contemporary challenges that
global water governance seeks to address. It is particularly
concerned with connecting what are often technical issues in water
management with the social and political structures that affect how
technical and scientific advice affects decisions. Schmidt and
Matthews are careful to avoid the pitfalls of setting up opposing
binaries, such as 'nature versus culture' or 'private versus
public', thereby allowing readers to understand how contests over
water governance have been shaped over time and why they will
continue to be so. Co-written by an academic and a practitioner,
Global Challenges in Water Governance combines the dual concerns
for both analytical clarity and practical applicability in a way
that is particularly valuable both for educators, researchers,
decision-makers, and newcomers to the complexities of water use
decisions.
