  • Water and national identity in the Netherlands; the history of an idea

    Open AccessErik MostertARTICLEWater History2020Cited by: 3References: 10

    According to a popular Dutch theory, water has shaped the Dutch national identity. The Dutch fight against the water would have stimulated perseverance, ingenuity, cooperation and an egalitarian and democratic society. Despite the long water management history of the Netherlands, water became an important part of the self-images of the nation only in the eighteenth Century. In the 1780s the idea that the Dutch had wrung their country from the sea…

  • Between arguments, interests and expertise

    Open AccessErik MostertARTICLEWater History2016Cited by: 1References: 3

    The Dutch water boards perform essential tasks for the Netherlands and generally effectively, yet they have often been called old-fashioned, ineffective and expensive.

  • Social Learning and Water Resources Management

    Open AccessClaudia Pahl-Wostl, Claudia Pahl‐wostl et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2007Cited by: 37

    Natural resources management in general, and water resources management in particular, are currently undergoing a major paradigm shift. Management practices have largely been developed and implemented by experts using technical means based on designing systems that can be predicted and controlled. In recent years, stakeholder involvement has gained increasing importance. Collaborative governance is considered to be more appropriate for integrated…
