Water and Development: Good Governance after Neoliberalism de Ronaldo Munck

Water and Development: Good Governance after Neoliberalism: International Studies in Poverty Research

Editat de Ronaldo Munck, Narathius Asingwire, Honor Fagan, Consolata Kabonesa
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 sep 2015
Water has always been a crucial catalyst for human development. In Africa, competition among different sectors for this scarce resource remains a critical challenge to water managers and decision-makers.

Water and Development examines a range of issues, from governance to solar distillation, from gender to water pumps, using a range of research methods, from participant observation to GIS and SPSS data analysis. Throughout, however, there is the unifying thread of developing a participatory and sustainable approach to water which recognises it as an essential public necessity.

The result is essential reading both for students of development and the environment and for NGOs and policy-makers seeking a robust and transformational approach to water and development.

Recenzii

This volume is a well-structured introduction to the topic of water and development that shows the necessity of harnessing global initiatives through deep understanding of local contexts.
This highly readable book raises important issues in the management of freshwater in the interests of the poor and the marginalised, issues that are becoming more pressing in the face of population growth, economic development and climate change.
An illustrative, inspiring and innovative text that raises fundamental issues on the pertinent subject of water in a developing context. The book is comprehensive in tackling both hardware and software issues in relation to sustainable water development and access. Scholars, researchers, policy-makers and planners in the water sector will undoubtedly find this book a vital reference.
An insightful and important analysis of the promises and pitfalls inherent in hybrid development models guiding global water resource governance. The empirical case studies are highly instructive for students of gender and resource management, as well as development planners.
This is a very significant book, and an important grounding for future thinking and policy around "water for all". It draws attention to the complex dynamics of water-related challenges in an accessible format [and] will be an invaluable resource for policy-makers, professionals, and students alike.
