  abstract = {{T}he {W}orld {W}ater {F}orums ({WWF}s), organized every three years by a host country and the {W}orld {W}ater {C}ouncil ({WWC}), gather a large number of diverse stakeholders and address multiple water issues. {V}arious global knowledge networks intersect at the forums and shape the knowledge that is being produced. {T}he article examines the (re)production of knowledge at {WWF}s and first analyses the extent and nature of the inclusiveness claimed by the forums. {I}t then shows how the idea of a 'global water community' is weakened by the contested legitimacy of the {WWC} and partly defeated by systemic sociological factors, active management of the status quo, and organized dissent.},
