Water conflicts are mostly studied as disputes around access to water resources or the formulation of water laws and governance rules. However, explicitly or not, water conflicts nearly always also involve disputes among different philosophical views. The contributions to this edited volume have looked at the politics of contested knowledge as manifested in the conceptualisation, design, development, implementation and governance of large dams and mega-hydraulic infrastructure projects in various parts of the world. The special issue has explored the following core questions: Which philosophies and claims on mega-hydraulic projects are encountered, and how are they shaped, validated, negotiated and contested in concrete contexts? Whose knowledge counts and whose knowledge is downplayed in water development conflict situations, and how have different epistemic communities and cultural-political identities shaped practices of design, planning and construction of dams and mega-hydraulic projects? The contributions have also scrutinised how these epistemic communities interactively shape norms, rules, beliefs and values about water problems and solutions, including notions of justice, citizenship and progress that are subsequently to become embedded in material artefacts. 517 $aContested Knowledges 610 $apoliticized collective identity 610 $afirst nations 610 $asocio-technical imaginaries 610 $adam 610 $apolitical ecology 610 $aSTS 610 $airrigation 610 $acontested knowledge 610 $anegotiation 610 $aGuatemala 610 $asocial construction of technology 610 $aindigenous peoples 610 $amulti-actor multi-scalar alliances 610 $avernacular statecraft 610 $acompensation measures 610 $amodernist traditions 610 $ahydropower development 610 $aagonistic unity 610 $aEcuador 610 $aanti-dam resistance movements 610 $afantasy 610 $aenvironmental governance 610 $acollective action 610 $amodernity 610 $adepoliticization 610 $aBritish Columbia 610 $ahydraulic utopia 610 $aA.O.
