Abstract

[The Water-Energy Nexus has put the integrative management of interdependent resources on the agenda yet again. Despite the heightened academic attention received, the definition of the nexus remains fuzzy and its added-value as an institutional analytical tool is limited. This chapter highlights theoretical elements that may explain why, to date, the promises of the nexus are not fulfilled. Focusing on hydropower and competing in-stream values in a non-water-scarce context, this research aims at bringing actors to the foreground and, thus, the political dimension of use allocation choices. This chapter empirical study assesses how closely the water management strategies adopted by two Swiss cantons match the principles of a nexused approach.]
