The Politics of River Basin Organisations
Coalitions, Institutional Design Choices and Consequences
Edited by Dave Huitema and Sander Meijerink
Can River Basin Organisations (RBOs) actually improve water governance? RBOs are frequently layered on top of existing governmental organisations, which are often reluctant to share their power. This, in turn, can affect their performance. The Politics of River Basin Organisations addresses this issue by exploring the subject on a global level.
