Hot Water after the Cold War – Water Policy Dynamics in (Semi-)Authoritarian States

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: This introductory article of the special section introduces the central question that the section addresses: do water policy dynamics in (semi-)authoritarian states have specific features as compared to other state forms? The article situates the question in the post-Cold War global water governance dynamics, argues that the state is a useful and required entry point for water policy analysis, explores the meaning of (semi-)authoritarian as a category, and finally introduces the three papers, which are on China, South Africa and Vietnam.
