摘要

摘要本研究通过对印度西孟加拉邦政府倡导的63个随机选择的用水者协会进行调查，为集体行动理论中关于资源和成员异质性的主要争论提供了实证证据。这些机构的运作和治理是根据资源调动（收取会费）的效率、成员对透明度和民主决策的看法以及未来对第三方参与的依赖性来评估的。研究发现，更大的指挥区域、更大比例的小农户、最佳会员费、频繁的大会、某些文件和权力结构可以改善运作和治理指标。

Structural and institutional arrangements impacting collective actions in WUAs of West Bengal, India

ABSTRACT This study provides empirical evidence of major debates in collective action theory concerning resource and member heterogeneity by conducting a survey on 63 randomly selected water-user associations promoted by the West Bengal state government of India. The functioning and governance of these institutions were evaluated by efficiency in resource mobilization (collection of membership fees), members’ perception of transparency and democratic decision-making, and dependency on third-party involvement in the future. The study finds that a larger command area, larger proportion of smaller farmers, optimum membership fee, frequent general body meetings, certain documentation, and power structure improve the functioning and governance indicators.
