Reviews

'Dinar and Albiac have produced a volume of enormous importance. The contributors represent a wealth of experience in the water game , and they share with us the conceptual and empirical insights pertinent to the crafting of coherent water policy in various settings and circumstances.' Daniel W. Bromley, University of Wisconsin-Madison 'Dinar and Albiac have brought together an excellent set of papers using a game theoretic approach to analyse how policies affect the strategies of water users and managers around the world. This book will be valuable reading for seminars in economics, political science, sociology, policy and environmental science.' Elinor Ostrom, Co-Director, Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis, Indiana University
