Governing Water: Contentious Transnational Politics and Global Institution Building
The Environmental Change and Security Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars recently hosted GECHS SSC member Ken Conca as he presented research from his book Governing Water: Contentious Transnational Politics and Global Institution Building. Winner of the Chadwick F. Alger Prize and the Harold and Margaret Sprout Award, the book was inspired by the actions of the Itoiz protesters. Conca said: “The core question of the book is ‘What’s the relationship between this sort of contentious politics, this sort of extra-institutional disruptive politics, and our approaches to global environmental governance?’” His presentation is available online, along with video and other information about the event.
