Most specialists agree that states face many institutional inadequacies when dealing with shared resources and that new governance mechanisms are needed to improve water management. Using case studies of the Aral Sea basin and the Danube, Euphrates, and Mekong river basins, the contributors develop a new approach to water governance: the concept of multi-governance, an effort to collectively solve public problems by involving a series of relevant actors from the local to the global level, such as institutions, states, civil society, and business.SUNY series in global politics.Water-supplyEconomic aspectsCase studiesWater-supplyManagementInternational cooperationCase studiesWater resources developmentInternational cooperationCase studiesWatershed managementInternational cooperationCase studiesWater-supplyEconomic aspectsWater-supplyManagementInternational cooperationWater resources developmentInternational cooperationWatershed managementInternational cooperation333.91/6217Finger Matthias252302Tamiotti Ludivine1973-1318803Allouche Jeremy1691276MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807671803321The multi-governance of water4067525UNINA
