Sommario/riassunto

""Decentering"" has fast become a dynamic approach to the study of American cultural and diplomatic history. But what precisely does decentering mean, how does it work, and why has it risen to such prominence?

Sommario/riassunto

Esta publicación sintetiza los resultados de tres décadas de investigación apoyada por el IDRC sobre abastecimiento de agua.

Centrándose no sólo en los resultados de la investigación sino también en sus carencias, este libro presenta propuestas con fundamento sólido a las personas que deben tomar decisiones y a los investigadores; ofrece una serie de recomendaciones claras y pertinentes para la formulación
