The Challenges of Global Water Governance
- Resumen
- In recent years, the concept of governance has gained ground, in the context of water policy, related to the concept of sustainable development. Different levels of concern with water governance have been considered, namely the local, river basin, regional and global levels. Actually, in certain cases, the governance normally applied at the river basin level may be insufficient, making it necessary to try to reach a higher level, i. e. regional or even global. Effective global water governance will require an adequate legal and institutional setting which is not yet provided by the currently existent instruments. Considered from this perspective, water tends to assume the role of a geopolitical resource, similar to oil or mineral resources. And although this perspective has not, thus far, prevailed, there are signs that the current views may be changing.
