Beschreibung
This book examines how recent reforms of decentralization, privatization
and commercialization are initiated and implemented with regard to water
management in Khartoum. In so doing, it uses the prism of water to gain
insights into Sudanese (water) politics, power strategies and
state-society relationships. Drawing on detailed, actor-oriented and
ethnographic analyses based on political ecology and on organization
sociology, the main findings develop important aspects of rule and
emphasize the relevance of studying local, micropolitical contexts in
order to understand macropolitical dynamics.
This work obtained the DAVO (German Middle East Studies Association)
