Response to the article Virtual water and water footprint: overreaching into the discourse on sustainability, efficiency and equity, by Dennis Wichelns
Claudia Pahl-Wostl directs the Institute for Environmental Systems Research at the University of Osnabrück and serves as cochair of the Global Water System Project. She has worked and published extensively on water, mostly in the context of the European Union. Water Governance in the Face of Global Change: From Understanding to Transformation reflects this experience. It is an extremely rich work, building on such sources as Elinor Ostrom, the new institutionalism, complexity theory, governance theory, and mixed methods of social research. She means to develop a theory for water governance to change from what she calls "technocratic approaches and instrumental management" in order to "foreground the 'human dimension'". A second major goal is to create a theory that describes under what conditions and in what way governance can adapt and transform.
