Fresh water resources are at the same time ecological, economic,
social, and cultural goods and must be managed accordingly.
However, efforts to manage these resources are complicated by
tensions arising from possible clashes between the regimes
favouring privatization, trade and investment liberalization, and
domestic and international regimes governing water resources,
environmental protection and human rights. The relationships
between the international economic and legal framework on the one
hand and fresh water resource management and protection on the
other, are complex and multifaceted. This book addresses the key
interdisciplinary issues that increasingly confront policy makers,
tribunals, arbitration bodies and other institutions. It focuses
primarily on law, but also includes perspectives from economics,
political science and other disciplines. It examines such questions
as are governments free to decide whether or not to export water
resources? Can foreign investors sue host states for adopting
measures to control water pollution? Can international trade rules
be used to reduce or eliminate water related subsidies? Do rules on
the liberalization of water services affect domestic and
international human rights obligations relating to water supply?
More generally, how do the procedural rights of states,
individuals, affected communities and investors affect decisions
regarding the right to drinking water, the rights of investors to
exploit water resources, and the rights of governments to protect
their lakes, rivers and groundwater?
