Globalization has significantly redefined the nature of governance
in the water sector. Non-state actors-multilateral and
transnational donor agencies and corporations, non-government
organizations, markets, and civil society at large-are assuming a
bigger role in public policy-making for water resource management.
New discourses on neoliberalism, integrated water resource
management (IWRM), public-private partnerships, privatization, and
gender equity have come to influence water governance. Drawing upon
detailed case studies from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and
Bhutan, this volume shows the implications of these new global
paradigms for water allocation and management practices,
institutions and governance structures in South Asia. It suggests
that, despite claims to the contrary, they have done little to
further human well-being, reduce gender disparity, or improve
accountability and transparency in the system. Steering away from
blueprint approaches, it argues for a more nuanced and contextual
understanding of water management challenges, based on local
knowledge and initiatives. This book will be useful to those
interested in political economy and water governance, natural
resource management, environmental studies, development studies,
and public administration, as well as to water professionals,
policy-makers and civil society activists.
