Most specialists agree that states face many institutional inadequacies when dealing with shared resources and that new governance mechanisms are needed to improve water management. Using case studies of the Aral Sea basin and the Danube, Euphrates, and Mekong river basins, the contributors develop a new approach to water governance: the concept of multi-governance, an effort to collectively solve public problems by involving a series of relevant actors from the local to the global level, such as institutions, states, civil society, and business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthias Finger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791466051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791466056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.46w x 0.71d","brand":"Matthias Finger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086863806719,"sku":"9780791466056","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4debe9b-4355-4bf5-91f3-8484405e6c50.jpg?v=1769097020","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-multi-governance-of-water-matthias-finger-9780791466056","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
