Scholarship on the right to water has proliferated in interesting
and unexpected ways in recent years. This book broadens existing
discussions on the right to water in order to shed critical light
on the pathways, pitfalls, prospects, and constraints that exist in
achieving global goals, as well as advancing debates around water
governance and water justice. The book shows how both discourses
and struggles around the right to water have opened new
perspectives, and possibilities in water governance, fostering new
collective and moral claims for water justice, while effecting
changes in laws and policies around the world. In light of the 2010
UN ratification on the human right to water and sanitation, shifts
have taken place in policy, legal frameworks, local implementation,
as well as in national dialogues. Chapters in the book illustrate
the novel ways in which the right to water has been taken up in
locations drawn globally, highlighting the material politics that
are enabled and negotiated through this framework in order to
address ongoing water insecurities. This book reflects the urgent
need to take stock of debates in light of new concerns around
post-neoliberal political developments, the challenges of the
Anthropocene and climate change, the transition from the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) to the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), as well as the mobilizations around the right to water in
the global North. This book is essential reading for scholars and
students of water governance, environmental policy, politics,
geography, and law. It will be of great interest to policymakers
and practitioners working in water governance, as well as the human
right to water and sanitation.
