Interactive Approach to Water Governance: Case Studies in Asia
Outline
This research project aims to reveal the complex process of multi-layer and cross-scale interactions between government policy and social actors' practices in order to solve the water related problems in Asia. We will conduct case studies in Japan, China, the Philippines and other Asian countries, and with reference to the theory of "interactive governance" developed mostly in European public policy studies, we will compare these cases to seek a new framework for water policies and their related practices in the context of Asia.
