New publication by Hydro Nation Scholar, Christopher Schulz: 'Applying a 'Value Landscapes Approach' to Conflicts in Water Governance: The Case of the Paraguay-Paraná Waterway'

Hydro Nation scholar Christopher Schulz just published a paper in Ecological Economics, entitled: "Applying a 'Value Landscapes Approach' to Conflicts in Water Governance: The Case of the Paraguay-Paraná Waterway". This paper, with co-authorship of his supervisory team of Julia Martin-Ortega, Antonio Ioris, and Klaus Glenk, is an application of Christopher's own theoretical framework on the role of values in water governance, that was published earlier this year in the same journal. Based on interviews conducted with members of the water sector in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, the paper explains how the decades-old conflict around the construction of a waterway through the Brazilian Pantanal wetland can be interpreted as a clash of different values. The publication is available for download for free until 14th May 2017.
