Inhaltsangabe

This book is the first longitudinal study to consider water management worldwide since Karl Wittfogel put forth his hydraulic societies hypothesis nearly two generations ago, and it draws together the diverse debates that seminal work inspired. In so doing, Scarborough offers new models for cross-cultural analysis and prepares the ground for new examinations of power, centralization, and the economy.
