| Research Abstract |
In the recent years, the international policy discussions on the global water issues has been focused on the water insecurity from the viewpoint of global science, calling for the international efforts to achieve an universalistic "water security" through a top-down approaches for water governance, including Integrated Water Resource Management and international water sharing treaties over trans-boundary water resources.
This study, based on the result of the field research conducted in a rural society in the coastal region in Bangladesh, explores the reality of water insecurity experienced by the local people in their daily life and the importance and space-specific nature of their water-security practices. It then suggests the alternative framework for understanding and supporting a local and bottom-up process of governance building within the locally-specific socio-historical context, in place of the existing top-down process which can promote a governance oppressive against such local efforts for adapting to and/or mitigating the impacts of man-made water disasters.
