  abstract = {{R}iver basins are geographical units in which all streams drain to a common terminus, but as a political boundary it is also the result of a choice and social construction. {T}he concept has, from the nineteenth century onward, chiefly been mobilized for justifying and rationalizing the large-scale development of water resources by powerful water bureaucracies imbued with their “hydraulic mission.” {E}xcessive development resulting in basin closure and social and environmental externalities must be understood as a political phenomenon. {T}he relevance of looking at water-related problems through the lens of the water basin has been debated and the complexity of multilevel governance unearthed, not least at the transboundary level. {W}hether river basin organizations are needed or desirable, and what their prerogatives should be, are also under question.},
