Abstract
ABSTRACT In this afterword to the special issue on ‘Water, Governance, and the Dynamics of Infrastructural Regionalism’, I reflect on three achievements of regional infrastructures that are common to all the articles. First, I discuss the relational ontologies and epistemologies that the authors use to characterise the multifaceted connections between humans and non-humans, as well as the imaginaries that inform the framings of regional infrastructure. I then discuss the territorialising achievements of infrastructuring and regionalising processes that involve the aligning of hydrological and jurisdictional boundaries, the hybridisation of ways of knowing, and the establishing of formal and informal relationships to address fragmented conditions. Finally, I summarise the varying forms of contested and consensual politics that are rife with power dynamics and social inequalities. I conclude by suggesting some future directions for infrastructural regionalism scholarship.
