Bringing together the analysis of a diverse team of social
scientists, this book proposes a new approach to environmental
problems. Cutting through the fragmented perspectives on water
crises, it seeks to shift the analytic perspectives on water policy
by looking at the social logics behind environmental issues. Most
importantly, it analyzes the dynamic influences on water
management, as well as the social and institutional forces that
orient water and conservation policies. The first work of its kind,
The Field of Water Policy: Power and Scarcity in the American
Southwest brings the tools of Pierre Bourdieu's field sociology to
bear on a moment of environmental crisis, with a study of the
logics of water policy in the American Southwest, a region that
allows us to see the contest over the management of scarce
resources in a context of lasting drought. As such, it will appeal
to scholars in the social and political sciences with interests in
the environment and the management of natural resources.
