説明

<jats:p>In <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">K</jats:styled-content>enya, as in many developing countries, centralized control over water resources was implemented to improve agricultural productivity. By the 1980s, however, <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">K</jats:styled-content>enya's postindependence policies of bureaucratic control were in disarray, and conflicts over water use were common. More recently, <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">K</jats:styled-content>enya has embarked on a series of reforms that create a polycentric approach to water governance, in which decision making about water resources is shared among multiple, overlapping local, regional, and national authorities. Drawing on archival and field research, we examine these reforms in their historic context and argue that whereas centralized control was poorly adapted to the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">K</jats:styled-content>enyan context, polycentric governance is better suited to <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">K</jats:styled-content>enya's variable social and ecological conditions and the available resources of its administrative agencies.</jats:p>
