内容説明
This engaging examination of the fate of Nepal's premier natural resource has a significance that transcends both the specific experience of Nepal and the water sector. Water engineer, economist and social activist, Dipak Gyawali has an international reputation as one of the most important thinkers around the central issues of water and development. In this book he argues for the necessity of moving away from a technocratic approach, to take full account of the social and political context of any development intervention, focusing on the costs and benefits borne by ordinary people. He shows that both analytical comprehension and effective policy action require a holistic conceptualisation of the interface between water (or any natural resource), technology and social context. A series of fascinating case studies, including the notorious World Bank-promoted Arun 3 hydro scheme, he makes clear the complexity of the development process, the extent of institutional distortion that external donor policies can induce in recipient societies, and the anti-developmental impacts which the state, unrestrained by the countervailing power of civil society, can have.
