Abstract

The theoretical foundations for describing and explaining the dynamics and transformative change of water governance are weak. This deficit is hardly astonishing if one takes into consideration that the concept of governance itself is still subject to controversy (Mayntz 2004; Grande 2012). Is governance largely a descriptive concept which takes developments observed in real world policy into account? Or does it provide the base for a new normative theory of political steering and the role of the nation state? This chapter contributes to the building of the missing foundations by developing a conceptual and theoretical framework of water governance systems. It is largely a framework of analysis but also entails a normative dimension by identifying characteristics which are considered here to be essential for dealing with complex governance challenges. Even when the focus is on water governance the scope of theoretical considerations is not limited to this domain of governance.
