'In international and domestic law water has a widely multifaceted
relevance. This book addresses the multifarious water issues from
the perspective of a wide range of bodies of law, especially those
on foreign investment, international trade and human rights. Its
various contributions consistently follow a multi-layered
methodological approach encompassing legal, policy, economic,
financial, international and comparative domestic analysis. That

water policy makers, managers, practitioners and arbitrators.' -

'Charting the Water Regulatory Future is a multifaceted review of
contemporary issues concerning development and conservation of
water resources. Divided in three parts, this book contains
excellent articles that grapple with salient legal, economic and
ethical problems that the world will face in the not-too-distant
future.' - Thomas J. Schoenbaum, George Washington University Law
School, US Water is an essential resource for mankind, yet many
countries around the world are currently facing mounting freshwater
management challenges, with climate change and new regional
imbalances threatening to aggravate this situation further. This
timely book offers a unique interdisciplinary inquiry into the
issues and challenges water regulation will face in the coming
years. The book brings together economists, political scientists,
geographers and legal scholars to offer a number of proposals for
the future of water regulation. The contributions in this book are
grouped around specific themes. In the Part I, the contributions
address the challenges which water poses to public international
law. In the Part II, the authors explore the most pressing ethical,
legal, and social issues. Finally, the discussion in Part III
covers the economic drivers shaping the future of water. This
discerning book cov'This book, examining the issues, challenges and
directions in water regulation, is very timely. . . (It)
contributes to this gigantic endeavour by identifying some of the
most pressing legal and economic issues and challenges, and
pointing toward some possible future directions. It is written in a
technically accurate yet accessible language and will surely prove
useful to scholars, policymakers, and practitioners alike.' -

economic and ethical problems that the world will face in the
not-too-distant future.' - Thomas J. Schoenbaum, George Washington
University Law School, US 'This excellent book addresses urgent
global water issues: scarcity of clean water as population grows
and the climate changes, balancing incentives for investment in
infrastructure with human rights to basic needs, jurisdiction and
management of international watersheds, and the role of trade and
international trade agreements. Individual chapters are
sophisticated but accessible and documented rigorously but
unobtrusively. The authors are reputed scholars from diverse
disciplines, representing a wide range of countries in terms of
geography and economic status.' - Alan Randall, The Ohio State
University, US and University of Sydney, Australia 'There is no
greater challenge in the 21st century than meeting the demand for
water amid global climate change. Rapid urbanization, a growing
global population projected to hit nine billion in the coming
decades, combined with rising demands for water intensive
agri-foods, is creating enormous stresses on global water
resources. This volume brings together an outstanding collection of
global experts to examine the regulatory challenges of water
management, addressing topics as diverse as regulating trade in
water, global institutions and water conservation, cross border
investment in water utilities, as well as ethical, social and legal
issues associated with equity and access to water. The volume
represents an original and immensely valuable collection of papers
for anyone concerned with the future of this most essential
resource.' - Darryl Jarvis, Hong Kong Institute of Education
'Pollution, population growth, climate change and regional
imbalances make water management a central challenge for
governments. New problems about water have arisen, which include
inefficient sanitation services, the depletion of groundwater,
unstable water supply networks and the use of water carriers. This
excellent edited collection brings us a fresh and broad
understanding on the future of water regulation from trade,
investment, sustainable development, human rights and economics
perspectives. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested
in international rule-making and regulatory development for public
goods in the era of globalization.' - Tsai-yu Lin, National Taiwan
University 'Overall, this edited volume has certainly succeeded in
analysing a highly technical topic from a wide variety of
disciplines and in an array of jurisdictions. Its interdisciplinary
nature, together with its consistency and clarity, makes it a
welcome and timely addition to the literature. It constitutes a
useful reference for both academics and practitioners who seek
guidance in the intricate and vitally important realm of water
regulation.' - Chinese Journal of Environmental Law ers all of the
primary actors in the actors of the water world, including
governments, companies, international organizations, and citizens.
With an original introduction by the editor and bringing a diverse
collection of perspectives into a single collection, the book will
be an essential resource for scholars and practitioners in legal
and policy fields such as trade and investment, human rights and
the environment as well as in international relations. Contributors
