Intensifying droughts and competing pressures on water resources
foreground water scarcity as an urgent concern of the global
climate change crisis. In India, individual, industrial, and
agricultural water demands exacerbate inequities of access and
expose the failures of state governance to regulate use. State
policies and institutions influenced by global models of reform
produce and magnify socio-economic injustice in this "water
bureaucracy." Drawing on historical records, an analysis of
post-liberalization developments, and fieldwork in the city of
Chennai, Leela Fernandes traces the configuration of colonial
historical legacies, developmental-state policies, and economic
reforms that strain water resources and intensify inequality. While
reforms of water governance promote privatization and
decentralization, they strengthen the state centralized control
over water through city-based development models. Understanding the
political economy of water thus illuminates the consequent failures
of the state within countries of the Global South.
