This course aims to help students reading, understanding and using the social science literature on water resources management and planning. The empirical focus is on the key-themes of present-day water management, such as the coordination between water management and spatial planning, flood risk management, the implementation of the European water framework directive and cross-border river basin management. Although the focus is on recent developments in Dutch water management primarily, there is a strong international dimension as well. Part of the literature deals with issues of cross-border cooperation and the development of the European water regime, and some topics are discussed from an international comparative perspective.
Theoretically, in this course various institutional perspectives are used (1) to better understand recent developments in water resources management and planning and (2) to develop strategies for contributing to a better coordination between water management and spatial planning, and a more sustainable development of water resources.
