Institutional bricolage in community-based water management: some insights from non-representational theory Int.l J. Water Resour. Dev. (IF 3.1) Pub Date : 2022-08-08 Richard Nunes, Nicholas Fielmua
ABSTRACT Drawing on non-representational theory, using as an example the work of Gilles Deleuze, we offer a complementary perspective on critical institutionalism. We examine four case studies of community-based water management in the Upper West Region of Ghana, which has empowered communities and encouraged democratically accountable approaches, while also underpinning discriminatory practices. We
