Contesting Water Rights: Local, State, and Global Struggles de Mangala Subramaniam

Contesting Water Rights: Local, State, and Global Struggles

Autor Mangala Subramaniam
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 mai 2018
As globalization processes and related neoliberal agendas promote privatization through state action, people’s struggles for rights to water have intensified. In this context, this book examines the role of the ambivalent state in local struggles for water, which are deeply intertwined with global forums that support and/or challenge the privatization of water resources. These local-global struggles have redefined the relationships between the state, corporations, and other social actors that impact the local politics of inequality and marginalization.

Caracteristici

Focuses on several very timely subjects, including water rights, globalization, and privatization Takes a unique, multi-scalar, multi-level approach to investigating the contestations surrounding water rights, addressing the local, state, and transnational levels, and how they interact Features a surprisingly diverse range of case studies, spanning across India and the United States, which showcase how the processes of privatization are being resisted in similar ways across the globe
