Transnational Policy Networks In Global Water Governance In India, Vandana Asthana Ph.D.
Transnational Policy Networks In Global Water Governance In India, Vandana Asthana Ph.D.
Journal of International and Global Studies
This paper argues that in the processes of global water governance, transnational policy networks play a significant role in defining spaces of engagement that privilege certain voices and versions. These networks produce narratives that not only convey storylines of sustainable water practices but also often have embedded within them the advocacy of a particular policy instrument that they intend to promote.
