The right to clean water has been adopted by the United Nations as
a basic human right. Yet how such universal calls for a right to
water are understood, negotiated, experienced and struggled over
remain key challenges. The Right to Water elucidates how universal
calls for rights articulate with local historical geographical
contexts, governance, politics and social struggles, thereby
highlighting the challenges and the possibilities that exist.
Bringing together a unique range of academics, policy-makers and
activists, the book analyzes how struggles for the right to water
have attempted to translate moral arguments over access to safe
water into workable claims. This book is an intervention at a
crucial moment into the shape and future direction of struggles for
the right to water in a range of political, geographic and
socio-economics contexts, seeking to be pro-active in defining what
this struggle could mean and how it might be taken forward in a far
broader transformative politics. The Right to Water engages with a
range of approaches that focus on philosophical, legal and
governance perspectives before seeking to apply these more abstract
arguments to an array of concrete struggles and case studies. In so
doing, the book builds on empirical examples from Africa, Asia,
Oceania, Latin America, the Middle East, North America and the
European Union.
