description This article examines current challenges and opportunities for integrated, sustainable, and participatory management of water resources in the upper Rio Negro basin (Uruguay) from a democratic governance perspective. For that purpose, the article adopts a qualitative methodology using techniques such as participant observation and workshops to raise awareness about the importance of this issue among key actors and decision-makers from the basin. In a context of severe global and local dilemmas regarding the democratic performance related to natural resources management, the paper reflects critical issues regarding the integrated and participatory management of water resources and proposes possible solutions. In this regard, the “local key” of the global proposal of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Agenda 2030 is especially significant, inasmuch necessarily entails a multilevel approach that includes the territorial dimension of this basin.

Para ello, se acude a una metodología cualitativa que incluye observación participante y talleres de sensibilización a actores clave y tomadores de decisión sobre dicha cuenca. En un contexto de fuertes dilemas globales y locales respecto al desempeño democrático frente al manejo de los recursos naturales, se recogen los asuntos y nudos críticos de la gestión integrada y participativa de los recursos hídricos, así como los posibles abordajes de soluciones. Es significativa la propuesta de “clave local” contemplada por los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) y la Agenda 2030, ya que conlleva al abordaje multinivel de la dimensión territorial de dicha cuenca.  Instituto de Altos Estudios Nacionales IAEN 2023-07-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos evaluados por doble pares ciegos application/pdf text/html application/epub+zip https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/329 10.37228/estado_comunes.v2.n17.2023.329 Estado & comunes; Vol. 2 No. 17 (2023): Quality of democracy: political regime, government and rights; 125-144 Estado & comunes; Vol. 2 Núm. 17 (2023): Calidad de la democracia: régimen político, gobierno y derechos; 125-144 2477-9245 1390-8081 10.37228/estado_comunes.v2.n17.2023 spa https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/329/544 https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/329/545 https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/329/546 Derechos de autor 2023 Amalia Margarita Stuhldreher
