Mancilla García, M., J. Hileman, and Ö. Bodin. 2019. Collaboration and conflict in complex water governance systems across a development gradient: addressing common challenges and solutions. Ecology and Society 24(3):28. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-11133-240328
Highlights
Water is inextricably woven into all facets of human society, from agriculture and industry, to household use, and ecosystem services
Integrated water resources management emphasizes the need for a watershed perspective; the drainage basin constitutes the fundamental management unit and the basin council forms the core of the overarching institutional structure and is charged with making management decisions that align with biophysical characteristics of the basin
Challenges to the governance of shared water resources are not endemic to a particular region, political system, or economic interests and may share common causes and solutions. The articles in this special issue adopt different research perspectives, and many pay particular attention to the social networks established between actors involved in the governance of water resources
Summary
Water is inextricably woven into all facets of human society, from agriculture and industry, to household use, and ecosystem services. The participation of diverse public and private actors is assumed to be necessary in collaborative decision-making processes on account of the multiscale and boundary-spanning features of water resources (Bodin 2017).
