Summary / Abstract (Note) | The already divisive politics of South Asia's trans-boundary water resources are further complicated by the rush to construct large- and medium-scale dams. While highly contested in India today, hydropower construction reflects a nexus of state and capital that discriminates against the poorest and most marginalised citizens. Alternatives to the multiple crises of water within and beyond India must look beyond state-centrism and, instead, promote multi-scalar civil society organisations and networks, which may contribute to a more sustainable and transparent South Asia in the future. |
