Book information
Democratizing Water Governance in the Mekong Region
Louis Lebel, John Dore, Rajesh Daniel, and Yang Saing Koma, editors.
Over the last few decades, the Mekong region has been facing complex
pressures and challenges in water governance driven by a range of
economic integration efforts and relationships motivated by national
self-interest.
This book provides a baseline, state-of-knowledge review of the
contemporary politics and discourses of water use, sharing, and
management, and implications for local livelihoods. The collection of
chapters gives a sound basis for engaging in policy-related action.
This is the first in a three-volume multi-authored book series on
water governance of the Mekong Program on Water, Environment and
Resilience (M-POWER). Authors are mainly drawn from the M-POWER
network, bringing together researchers, scholars, activists, and
leaders in the Mekong region.
ISBN: 978-974-9511-25-1. 150x230 mm, 304pp b/w photos, maps, figures.
Price: Baht 825. Publishers: Unit for Social and Environmental
Research (USER) and Mekong Press. 2007.
