However, power relations can obstruct the more inclusive and equitable experiences of participatory approaches, hence limiting the empowerment of vulnerable groups. It is thus important to study how power relations are influenced by people's interests, socio-political structures, and knowledge in the process of (co)creation of water policies. We use a case study in a rural municipality of Bolivia to address this issue. Qualitative data were collected between 2017 and 2020 and analysed using the elements of the Power Cube of Gaventa as the analytical framework. Results confirm that different factors influence power relations in the making of a water policy such as interests, access to information, habits, and customs. Actors use different forms, spaces, and levels of power to achieve their interests. Our results show the importance and need to analyse power relations prior, during and after the (co)creation of any public policy and to step away from linear and sectoral frameworks of policy development.Item type: Item , Review of: "Promoting Pro-Environmental Behavior for Sustainable Water Resource Management: A Social Exchange Perspective"(2023) Helga GrubergI found your article to be interesting and addressing a crucial socio-environmental problem, not only for Iran but for all of humanity.Item type: Item , Review of: "The Failure of Public Water Utility Privatization From Araral’s Perspective: Implications for Ethiopia’s Water Sector"(2023) Helga GrubergIt is important to be consistent in the way you present the titles of the documents.Sometimes you capitalize them and others you do not.
