MODERNIZATION AND URBAN WATER GOVERNANCE Organizational Change and Sustainability in Europe

THOMAS BOLOGNESI

Palgrave Studies in Water Governance: Policy and Practice

Series editors Christian Bréthaut Institute for Environmental Sciences University of Geneva Geneva, Switzerland Thomas Bolognesi University of Geneva Geneva, Switzerland

Looking at the issues of water governance through the perspective of the social sciences, books in the Palgrave Series in Water Governance take a global perspective on one of the key challenges facing society today: the sustainable development of water resources and services for all. In stepping away from the traditional focus on engineering and geophysics, the series takes a more holistic approach to both consolidate and generate knowledge that can be applied to different geographic areas by academics, researchers, policy-makers, NGOs and the private sector. This series emphasises the link between science and policy through considering water as a socio-ecological system, water and the territoriality of action, and water in the context of conflicts.
