有人呼吁对监管和治理框架进行彻底改革，以纳入水-能源-粮食关系的影响。我们绘制了这种关系的监管空间的一小部分，并强调了其巨大的复杂性。我们借鉴经济学和社会法律文献的见解，表明基于程序正义的去中心化监管方法可以使关系的权衡得到考虑和解决。我们使用英国达特穆尔国家公园微型水力发电的关系案例研究来表明，当我们考虑国家和非国家监管之间的相互作用、相互依赖和交易成本的经济概念，并认识到关系的监管是一个涉及程序正义决策的过程时，一些现有的监管框架已经有能力处理关系分析的影响。
There have been calls for an overhaul of regulatory and governance frameworks to incorporate the implications of the water-energy-food nexus. We map one small component of the regulatory space of the nexus and highlight its immense complexity. We draw on insights from the economics and socio-legal literatures to show that a decentralised approach to regulation based upon procedural justice can enable the trade-offs of the nexus to be considered and addressed. We use a nexus case study of micro hydro-electricity generation in Dartmoor National Park in England to show that when we take into account interactions between state and non-state regulation, the economic concepts of interdependencies and transaction costs, and a recognition that regulation of the nexus is a process involving decisions of procedural justice, some existing regulatory frameworks are already well-equipped to deal with the implications of nexus analysis.
