In this global approach to climate change and freshwater access,
Cameron Fioret explores the harmful effects of water
commodification. Making use of deliberative democratic theory,
Fioret suggests tools that can change the balance of democratic
decision-making power by rethinking the governance of water more
broadly. Five main case studies including Detroit, Cochabamba, and
Kerala span four continents to convey the global and local scope of
normative water issues. These examples draw on contemporary water
justice movements to explore how anti-water-commodification
struggles can utilize water recommoning practices to make water
governance processes more deeply democratic. Highlighting the
ethical and sociopolitical ramifications of water injustice, this
study moves beyond the surface issue of distributional concerns. To
this end, Fioret draws on research in democratic political theory
and environmental philosophy to consider what right people have to
water, the putative harms of privatizing and commodifying water,
common ownership, and legal protections, alongside local and
transnational political activism. In navigating these pressing
issues, The Ethics of Water provides a searing analysis of water
commodification and political domination today.
