Rural-Urban Water Struggles compiles diverse analyses of
rural-urban water connections, discourses, identities and struggles
evolving in the context of urbanization around the world. Departing
from an understanding of urbanization as a process of constant
making and remaking of multi-scalar territorial interactions that
extend beyond traditional city boundaries and that deeply
reconfigure rural-urban hydrosocial territories and interlinkages,
the chapters demonstrate the need to reconsider and trouble the
rural-urban dichotomy. The contributors scrutinize how existing
approaches for securing urban water supply - ranging from water
transfers to payments for ecosystem services - all rely on a myriad
of techniques: they are produced by, and embedded in, specific
institutional and legal arrangements, actor alliances, discourses,
interests and technologies entwining local, regional and global
scales. The different chapters show the need to better understand
on-the-ground realities, taking account of inequalities in water
access and control, as well as representation and
cultural-political recognition among rural and urban subjects.
Rural-Urban Water Struggles will be of great use to scholars of
water governance and justice, environmental justice and political
ecology. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Water International.
