The book focuses on both national scale and local scale case studies to illustrate how these water conflicts are both discursively and materially driven by human institutions and politics. Through case studies of controversy over large dams, local flooding and irrigation methods, Daanish Mustafa highlights the various deeply political and institutional factors driving water conflict ? specifically the disparity between national scale strategies of water politics and local scale water politics ? and calls for engagement with water conflict in political terms."--
