Editorial Reviews

Explores the organizational and institutional factors that lead to poor project performance, but more important, identifies those managerial factors that have repeatedly been shown to contribute to project success. Taking rational choice theory as its starting point, the book elaborates a perspective that can be used to democratize, decentralize, and privatize irrigation organizations. Case examples from around the world illustrate the interrelationships between project performance, irrigation organization, and farmer participation. Annotation c.
