Abstract
When a loose coalition of transnational interest groups started a campaign against the proposed Epupa Dam, the stage was set for a confrontation of another sort in the Kunene River basin than what researchers investigated before Namibian independence. This time various interest groups from across the globe were pitted against the Namibian government not to construct the planned Epupa Dam. The hydropolitics and water governance of, and in the Kunene River, had changed from the state-centrism of the Cold War to a more liberal democratic character in post-independence Namibia. The interest groups employed a number of strategies and tactics in their efforts against the proposed Epupa hydro-power station. During the planned Epupa Dam debate, the OvaHimba played a central role in efforts to stop the Namibian government from constructing the dam. Even so, individual scientists also played their part in these lobbying efforts against Epupa.
