摘要：水利专家和从业者普遍认为，解决发展中国家水安全问题的关键在于改进水资源管理水平。本文回顾了水资源管理的发展历程，并分析了未来水资源管理研究的特点，认为未来水管理研究是多学科交叉的成果，相比传统研究更加关注对水管理事务中社会驱动机制和管理学内涵的研究。然后，我们展示了从公共经济学、新制度经济学、政治经济学和公共管理衍生而出的水管理理论及其对水资源综合管理问题诊断、水利水电利用效率提升、公共服务社会化和公共服务领域的公私主体协作方式、水价改革、虚拟水/水权交易等领域的应用前景。我们认为这些理论工具可以有力推进为未来水资源管理研究工作。

Abstract：Water scholars and practitioners generally agree that improving water governance is the key to addressing water insecurity in developing countries. We review the literature on water governance and argue for a second-generation research agenda, which pays more attention to the study of incentive structures, is multi and inter-disciplinary in orientation and with clear policy implications. We then illustrate how theories drawn from public economics, new institutional economics, political economy and public administration can help diagnose the challenges of integrated water resources management, improving efficiency of water utilities, privatization of utilities and public-private partnerships, water pricing reforms, virtual waters/water trading, among others. We conclude that these tools can help advance the second-generation research agenda on water governance.
