Abstract: In this article, the state of the art of the current debate on scalar politics and water governance is reviewed. The case of the Iberian Peninsula is considered in the light of the critical approach to the river basin as the unquestionable unit for water management. It is argued that when discussing 'spatial fit' issues, special attention should be given to changes in governance relationships and power structures. Key questions to be addressed include: When is the river basin an appropriate alternative? What types of decisions are to be taken at the basin scale? And what practices and rights can be endangered?
