摘要

基于在印度喀拉拉邦进行的实地调查，本文将重点关注水的微观政治——基础设施建设和管理策略。我认为，水通过它在再现现有社会等级制度方面的作用，成为一种社会控制手段。以世界银行主导的水资源管理项目Jalanidhi为重点，并将其与我实地考察的发展历史联系起来，我展示了种姓和性别的结构性不平等铭印在发展和基础设施地理位置上。这篇文章强调了左翼和新自由主义发展理念的局限性，并必然对喀拉拉邦作为主流发展理念的替代方案的主流叙事提出了质疑。

Geography of inequality, geography of development: Water politics in India

Based on fieldwork conducted in Kerala, India, in this article, I focus on the micropolitics of water – both its infrastructure creation and management strategies. I argue that water becomes a means of social control through its role in reproducing existing social hierarchies. Focusing on Jalanidhi, a world-bank-led water management program and connecting this to the history of development in my fieldsite, I show that structural inequalities of caste and gender are inscribed on development and infrastructure geographies. The article highlights the limitations of both left-led and neoliberal ideas of development and necessarily trouble the dominant narrative about Kerala being an alternative to mainstream ideas of development.

期刊介绍： World Development Perspectives is a multi-disciplinary journal of international development. It seeks to explore ways of improving human well-being by examining the performance and impact of interventions designed to address issues related to: poverty alleviation, public health and malnutrition, agricultural production, natural resource governance, globalization and transnational processes, technological progress, gender and social discrimination, and participation in economic and political life. Above all, we are particularly interested in the role of historical, legal, social, economic, political, biophysical, and/or ecological contexts in shaping development processes and outcomes.
