Globalized Water presents a compilation of voices that forms a unique scientific exploration
of contemporary water management models and governance issues. The book describes
the water paradox-how a local resource has become a global product-and the implications
of this in how we identify challenges and make policy in the water sector. Over the
last 20 years, the foundations of local and national water systems have been rocked
by a wave of changes. The authors in this book, experts in a wide range of disciplines,
address the resulting debates and issues: water as a commodity and patrimony, technological
rent, liberalization and privatization, the continuing evolution of water management
and policy at the European level, decision making and stakeholder participation, conflict
and consensus, and the inevitable growth of counterpowers at the local and international
levels, promoted by the advocates of sustainable development. The selected case studies
are from Europe (primarily France but also Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, and
Portugal), Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia), the United States, Lebanon, and India.
From this diverse collection of comparative perspectives and research methods, Globalized
Water seeks to advance interdisciplinary research, contributing to a new and dynamic
role for social sciences and governance on water
