PALERM-VIQUEIRA, Jacinta. Typology of irrigation institutions and water governance through horizontal agreements. agric. soc. desarro [online]. 2015, vol.12, n.3, pp.297-317. ISSN 1870-5472.

An argument is made for a typology of the diversity of self-governance. On the one hand, decentralized or centralized governance, and bureaucratic or non-bureaucratic water management. On the other hand the existence of networks of horizontal agreements with no overarching institutions.

Keywords : self-governance; irrigation systems; bureaucratic and non-bureaucratic management; networks.
