Rutgerd Boelens

Water, Power and Identity

The Cultural Politics of Water in the Andes

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book addresses the complex conflicting relationship between communities managing water on the ground and national/global policy-making institutions and elites. Andean illustrations from Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Chile reveal how water justice struggles are political projects against indifference, and that engaging in re-distributive policies and defying 'truth politics,' extends context-particular water rights definitions and governance forms.
