TLDR
In this paper, the authors argue that the caracterización de la administración in sistemas de riego de una extension determinada (e.g., a sistema de conocimiento local) is influenced by the locus de autoridad (Estado/regantes).
Abstract
La propuesta es diferenciar gobierno y administracion en los sistemas de riego, argumentando que el analisis que permite la caracterizacion de esta ultima no se puede realizar observando unicamente el locus de autoridad. Desde la perspectiva de la administracion, hay casos de autogobierno en que los regantes mismos realizan todas las tareas con base en sistemas de conocimiento local, otros en que toda la administracion se encuentra a cargo de personal contratado. Hay casos de administracion burocratica y tecnocratica en sistemas con distinto locus de autoridad (Estado/regantes). Ademas, se propone que mientras el autogobierno de sistemas de riego no parece tener limites de tamano, la administracion sin burocracia ni personal especializado parece estar acotada a sistemas de riego de una extension determinada. No obstante, se argumenta que el gobierno influye sobre el caracter de la administracion, dado que su descentralizacion disminuye o evita que sea burocratica/tecnocratica.
