This text offers students and practitioners a sophisticated and convincing framework for rethinking the dominant approaches to resource management in a complex world. Drawing on a deep understanding of relationships between resource projects and indigenous peoples, the book argues that usual resource management practices consider important human values irrelevant and invisible. The book uses case studies to argue that professional resource managers do not take responsibility for the social and environmental consequences of their decisions, on the often powerless and vulnerable indigenous...

This Handbook aims to expand the scope of efficient water use to include allocation of sources and quantities across uses and time, as well as integrating demand-management with supply-side substitutes. Socially efficient water use does not generally coincide with private decisions in the real...
