balance between society and nature was disrupted from the mid-20th century onward under the pressure of state-centered developmentalist discourses. The ratification of the Fair Water Distribution Act, ideological emphasis on self-sufficeincy, and the persistence of international sanctions, as dominant discursive formations, reinforced exploitative patterns of resource use and gradually marginalized natural entities such as Lake Urmia from the policy arena.
By the early 2010s, Lake Urmia had become an “empty signifier” of environmental crises, water governance inefficiency, and identity-territorial threats. This condition paved the way for a national demand that, in the 2013 peridential election, was articulated and represented by Rouhani’s administration in the discourse of “restoration.” In response, the Urmia Lake Restoration Headquarters was established as an institutional contruct within the discursive framework of the eleventh administration.
This study, aiming to analyze the discursive logic underpinning the Headquarters and to unpack the reasons for its shortcomings and obsacles to achieving its objectives, employs a combination of Farcough’s Critical Discourse Analysis and Laclau & Mouffe’s discourse theory. The data-comprising official documents, interviews with officials, and related media texts- were collected through sampling until reachins conceptual saturation and analyzed via triangulation.
Finding indicates that, despite the Headquarters’ relative and temporary success in halting the Lake’s complete desiccation and implementing some infrastructural projects, the lack of articulation between the restoration discourse and broader socio-economic structures, livelihood instablility among farmers, insufficient investment in alternative occupations, and weakness of basin-based governance prevented the full realization of ecological goals and sustainable restoration. Ultimately, the restoration discourse itself reproduced the dichotomy of “tchnologism vs. social realities” and failed to advance toward participatory governance. The conclusion is that sustainable restoration requires simultaneous articulation of water policy with walfare, agricultural transition, local participation, and plicy alignment at the basin scale.
