Abstract:
|
"This article uses the notion of ‘everyday politics’ at the scale of CBWM to analyse how different actors with varying interests and power maintain access to water. We draw upon Kerkvliet (2009), discussed earlier, and apply the four stages of support, compliance, modifications and evasions, and resistance to analyse how farmers and fishers articulate their interests in managing a common water resource, namely the Maji-Malguzari irrigation tanks in eastern Vidarbha region in Central India. The rest of the article is structured as follows. The next section gives a brief overview of the study area and research methods. The major actors around the Maji-Malguzari irrigation tank system are introduced next. In the subsequent section, we illustrate the interactions between these actors through the lens of everyday politics. We offer a few conceptual pointers by way of conclusion."
