Abstract

This document is presented by the Inter-American Development Bank, Sustainable Development Department, Environment Division. Draft for presentation at the Inter American Development Bank’s Annual Meeting in Fortaleza, Brazil, March 7 2002.


The views put forward here neither exclude or unanimously support any one political or social theory. They more or less conclude that “it all depends upon the specific situation!” In some situations “interest group theory” may help describe the outcomes of water policy, but in other cases the “bureaucratic politics” model may be more appropriate. Certainly, we must always pay attention to politics and
institutions; legislation and legal regimes traditionally follow from their interplay.
