Introduction: Overview of Water Crisis and Early Approaches to Study of Water -- 2. Between Local Community Challenges and Global Concerns -- 3. Local Struggles for Water Rights -- 4. The Global Forums of Water -- 5. Conclusion: Policy Implications.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.Political sociologyEnvironmental sciencesSocial aspectsHuman rightsWaterHydrologyPolitical SociologyEnvironmental Social SciencesHuman RightsWaterPolitical sociology.Environmental sciencesSocial aspects.Human rights.Water.Hydrology.Political Sociology.Environmental Social Sciences.Human Rights.Water.300Subramaniam Mangalaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut902450BOOK9910300601403321Contesting Water Rights2017410UNINA
