Analysing water governance in heterogeneous case studies

Status: Published
Knieper, C.; Holtz, G.; Kastens, B.; Pahl-Wostl, C.; (2010) Analysing water governance in heterogeneous case studies: Experiences with a database approach Environmental Science & Policy. 13(7):592-603
Knieper, Holtz, and Kastens are graduate students (staff members) with Pahl-Wostl who chairs the Resources Management research group at University of Osnabrueck, Institute of Environmental Systems Research, Osnabrueck, Germany where she has over 100 publications and currently administers 8 projects. In this article they further review the application of the Management Transition Framework (MTF) as a comprehensive analysis tool of water management through the review of two flood management case studies. These additional cases will be added to the MTF relational database, to expand it for supporting more detailed analysis of water governance technologies. The process of creating a shared language through the MTF for defining the governance processes enhances future empirical evaluations with the database. However, this is addressed specifically to professionals developing with these tools. as they found in this case, professionals involved can use the same tools and language but document governance processes at many different levels of detail which makes future comparisons more complicated.
