Summary:	This book emphasizes the importance of involving stakeholders in data formation related to assessments of hydropower development. This is a prerequiste if projects are to be sustainable. The study targets policy formation after the UNCED and UNSSD conventions, and how a discrepancy emerges between policy and its implementation by using hydropower development as an extended case. At global and national levels new policies make it mandatory for implementing agencies to introduce or expand social considerations far beyond old practices. This calls for new emphases in problem areas as well as meth.
