Mainstreaming gender in water governance through “how to do gender” toolkits has long been a development focus. It has been widely argued that such toolkits simplify the complex, nuanced realities of inequalities by gender in relation to water and fail to pay attention to the fact that the proposed users of such gender-water toolkits, i.e. mostly male water sector professionals, lack the skills, motivation and/or incentives to apply these toolkits in their everyday work. We adopt a feminist political ecology lens to analyse some of the barriers to reduce social inequalities in the management of global commons such as international rivers. Our findings highlight the leap of faith made in the belief that gender toolkits, as they exist, will filter through layers of a predominantly masculine institutional culture to enable change in ground realities of complex inequalities by gender. Analysing the everyday workings of two hydropower development organisations in India, we show how organisational structures demonstrate a blatant culture of masculinity. These two organisations, like many others, are sites where hierarchies and inequalities based on gender are produced, performed and reproduced. This performance of masculinity promotes and rewards a culture of technical pride in re-shaping nature, abiding by and maintaining hierarchy and demonstrating physical strength and emotional hardiness. In such a setting, paying attention to vulnerabilities, inequalities and disparities are incompatible objectives.

印度的男子气概和水力发电:女性主义政治生态学视角

长期以来,通过“如何做性别”工具包将性别问题纳入水治理的主流。人们普遍认为,这样的工具包简化了性别方面与水有关的不平等现象的复杂细微的现实,并且没有注意到这样一个事实,即这种性别-水工具包的拟议使用者,即主要是男性水务部门专业人员,缺乏这一点。在日常工作中应用这些工具包的技能,动机和/或动机。我们采用女性主义的政治生态学视角来分析减少国际公河等全球公域管理中的社会不平等的一些障碍。我们的研究结果凸显了人们对以下信念的信念的飞跃:人们相信存在着性别工具包,将过滤主要是男性化的机构文化的各个层次,以使复杂的不平等现象在现实中能够按性别进行改变。通过分析印度两个水电开发组织的日常工作,我们展示了组织结构如何展示公然的男性气概文化。与其他许多组织一样,这两个组织是产生,表演和复制基于性别的等级制度和不平等现象的场所。阳刚之气的表现促进并奖励了一种技术自豪文化,它重塑自然,遵守并保持等级制度,并展示出体力和情感上的耐性。在这种情况下,关注漏洞,不平等和差距是不相容的目标。通过分析印度两个水电开发组织的日常工作,我们展示了组织结构如何展现公然的男性气概。与其他许多组织一样,这两个组织是产生,表演和复制基于性别的等级制度和不平等现象的场所。阳刚之气的表现促进并奖励了一种技术自豪文化,它重塑自然,遵守并保持等级制度,并展示出体力和情感上的耐性。在这种情况下,关注漏洞,不平等和差距是不相容的目标。通过分析印度两个水电开发组织的日常工作,我们展示了组织结构如何展示公然的男性气概文化。与其他许多组织一样,这两个组织是产生,表演和复制基于性别的等级制度和不平等现象的场所。阳刚之气的表现促进并奖励了一种技术自豪文化,它重塑自然,遵守并保持等级制度,并展示出体力和情感上的耐性。在这种情况下,关注漏洞,不平等和差距是不相容的目标。是产生,执行和复制基于性别的等级制度和不平等现象的网站。阳刚之气的表现促进并奖励了一种技术自豪文化,它重塑自然,遵守并保持等级制度,并展示出体力和情感上的耐性。在这种情况下,关注漏洞,不平等和差距是不相容的目标。是产生,执行和复制基于性别的等级制度和不平等现象的网站。阳刚之气的表现促进并奖励了一种技术自豪文化,它重塑自然,遵守并保持等级制度,并展示出体力和情感上的耐性。在这种情况下,关注漏洞,不平等和差距是不相容的目标。
