Water is essential for human life and at the centre of political,
economic and socio-cultural development. This Routledge Handbook on
Water and Development offers a systematic, wide-ranging and
state-of-the-art guide to the diverse links between water and
development across the globe. It is organized into four parts: Part
I explores the most significant theories and approaches to the
relationship between water and development. Part II consists of
carefully selected in-depth case-studies, revealing how water
utilization and management are deeply intertwined with historical
development paths and economic and socio-cultural structures. Part
III analyses the role of governance in the management of water and
development. Part IV covers the most urgent themes and issues
pertaining to water and development in the contemporary world,
ranging from climate change and water stress to agriculture and
migration. The 32 chapters by leading experts are meant to
stimulate researchers and students in a wide range of disciplines
in the social and natural sciences, including Geography,
Environmental Studies, Development Studies and Political Science.
The Handbook will also be of great value to policymakers and
practitioners.
