5.0 out of 5 stars Taking the fuzzy out of Water and Environmental Governance Concept, May 25, 2009

This review is from: The Multi-governance of Water: Four Case Studies (Suny Series in Global Politics) (Paperback)

Authors headed by Finger, Tamiotti and Allouche have thoroughly, deeply examined water-related legal, regulatory, operational and institutional framework from the ecological, economical and international perspectives inherent to transboundary water governance.
Developing a comprehensive theoretical research accompanied by four representative case studies, the authors addressed clarity to the water and environmental governance's concept. And also have set the multi-level governance paradigm as a steady institutional alternative for water resources and environmental management.
Occurring in regional, national and local levels, water-related issues, competencies, functioning, conflicts and financing, are too complex to stay at the state-authority's umbrella, as the four case studies richly showed.
I do recommend this book for government, non-government, academic, business and consulting people. I think readers will enjoy the authors' intelligent methodological approach of presenting the concept-paradigm, the four diversified case studies and the coherent, converged final conclusion.
