Eastern Nile river waterscape: the role of power in policy-making and shaping national narratives / Kosoy, Nicolas; Khennache, Lylia ; Adamowski, Jan   Journal Article
Kosoy, Nicolas Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article examines the role of power interchanges in hindering collaborative efforts over shared water resources in the Eastern Nile River. We track the formative process of riparian countries’ narratives, showing how they problematize the watershed differently in accordance with the typology of power dimensions laid out under a proposed framework called Power on Water to Water Policy (PWWP). The framework presented attempts to give: (i) a power analysis of the riparian countries’ interactions, and (ii) a prescription of intervention avenues for river basin governance. The use of scientific literature and interviews triangulate data collection to ensure a more accurate analysis. Application of the PWWP framework is shown to contribute an original perspective to watershed management, enabling first, a comprehensive understanding of the Eastern Nile River situation from a power and institutional perspective and second, the identification of elements disrupting effective implementation of water resources management in the watershed.

Where hawks dwell on water and bankers build power poles: transboundary waters, environmental security and the frontiers of neo-liberalism / Hill, Douglas P   Article
Hill, Douglas P Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Hydropower development clearly has a significant role to play in the closer integration of different parts of the Himalayas and in facilitating downstream benefits throughout South Asia. However, the neo-liberal approach to infrastructure-led growth frequently overlooks the significant social, economic and political issues associated with this model of development in the region. Furthermore, the ongoing securitisation of water constrains the terms of debate under the guise of a unified national interest and enables large-scale dams to be constructed without due process. To desecuritise water in the Himalayas is to open up this dialogue and in so doing create the conditions for just and sustainable development.
