| contents | Economic sustainability, water security and multi-level governance of local water schemes in Nepal Emma Hakala Sociología Nepal Water security environmental justice economic sustainability environmental governance This article explores the role of multi-level governance and power structures in local water security through a case study of the Nawalparasi district in Nepal. It focuses on economic sustainability as a measure to address water security, placing this thematic in the context of a complicated power structure consisting of local, district and national administration as well as external development cooperation actors. The study aims to find out whether efforts to improve the economic sustainability of water schemes have contributed to water security at the local level. In addition, it will consider the interactions between water security, power structures and local equality and justice. The research builds upon survey data from the Nepalese districts of Nawalparasi and Palpa, and a case study based on interviews and observation in Nawalparasi. The survey was performed in water schemes built within a Finnish development cooperation programme spanning from 1990 to 2004, allowing a consideration of the long-term sustainability of water management projects. This adds a crucial external influence into the intra-state power structures shaping water management in Nepal. The article thus provides an alternative perspective to cross-regional water security through a discussion combining transnational involvement with national and local points of view. 2017 artículo científico 1988-7221 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=205052042004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2050 Revista de Paz y Conflictos application/pdf Universidad de Granada Revista de Paz y Conflictos (España) Num.1 Vol.10 |
