Increasing scarcity, conflict, and environmental damage are
critical features of the global water crisis. As governments,
international organizations, NGOs, and corporations have tried to
respond, Chilean water law has seemed an attractive alternative to
older legislative and regulatory approaches. Boldly introduced in
1981, the Chilean model is the world's leading example of a free
market approach to water law, water rights, and water resource
management. Despite more than a decade of international debate,
however, a comprehensive, balanced account of the Chilean
experience has been unavailable.
Siren Song is an interdisciplinary analysis combining law,
political economy, and geography. Carl Bauer places the Chilean
model of water law in international context by reviewing the
contemporary debate about water economics and policy reform. He
follows with an account of the Chilean experience, drawing on
primary and secondary sources in Spanish and English, including
interviews with key people in Chile. He presents the debate about
reforming the law after Chile's 1990 return to democratic
government, as well as emerging views about how water markets have
worked in practice. The resulting book provides insights about law,
economics, and public policy within Chile, and lessons for the
countries around the world that are wrestling with the challenges
of water policy reform.
