ABSTRACT

Section 2 explores the meaning of hegemony as a public good. It delves into the different evaluations of hegemony at different levels. Section 3 introduces and discusses neo-Gramscian thought on domestic and international hegemony as applied to the water sector. Section 4, applying the building blocks developed in the earlier sections, analyses the Turkish hydraulic power strategy and the counter-hegemonic strategies to Turkish hydraulic ambitions, in their ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ power manifestations. A conclusion closes the chapter.
