治理的概念,特别是善治的概念,是实现水资源综合管理的关键。目前关于水资源综合管理的许多文献中所使用的治理概念表明,这一概念的使用往往相互矛盾,有时与政府一词互换使用。本章提出了一个三位一体的治理模式,该模式围绕三个行动者群体--政府、社会和科学--构建,并讨论了这些群体之间的动态互动。这三类行为者或行为者集群之间的相互作用及其互动的动态,为对治理这一概念进行批判性评估奠定了基础。本章将与治理有关的规模的四个具体要素:经济、政治、行政和国际;以及三个结构方面:机制、进程和机构。此外,本章确定了四个过程:表达利益、行使法律的权利、履行法律的义务和调解争端,并分析了规范和价值观在善治中的核心作用。最后,分析了作为过程的治理和作为产品的治理的区别,并对生态系统治理进行了新的定义。有证据表明,治理过程的高度动态性,有明显的差异,区分成熟的民主国家和新兴的民主国家。
The concept of governance, and especially good governance, is pivotal to the achievement of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM). The concepts ofgovernanceused in much of the current literature on IWRM indicate that it is often used in a contradictory way and sometimes used interchangeably with the wordgovernment. This chapter proposes a Trialogue Model of governance that is structured around three groups of actors — government, society and science — and discusses the dynamic interactions between these groups. The interfaces between these three groups of actors, or actor-clusters, and the dynamics of their interactions, provide the basis for a critical assessment of governance as a concept. The chapter isolates four specific elements of scale that are relevant to governance: economic, political, administrative and international; as well as three structural aspects: mechanisms, processes and institutions. In addition, the chapter identifies four processes: articulating interests, exercising legal rights, discharging legal obligations and mediating disputes, and analyses the central role of norms and values in good governance. Finally, an analytical distinction is made between governance as aprocessand governance as aproduct, and a new definition of ecosystem governance is offered. Evidence is presented to demonstrate the highly dynamic nature of governance processes, with clear differences that distinguish mature democracies and fledgling democracies.
