Introducción a Bolivia
Bolivia, oficialmente conocido como el Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia, es un país ubicado en América del Sur. Comparte fronteras con Perú, Brasil, Paraguay, Chile y Argentina. La geografía de Bolivia es diversa, con la cordillera de los Andes dominando la parte occidental del país y la selva amazónica que cubre la mayor parte del este. Bolivia es conocida por su patrimonio cultural, que está fuertemente influenciado por la población indígena nativa. Los idiomas oficiales son el español, el aymara y el quechua. La economía de Bolivia se centra principalmente en los recursos naturales del petróleo, el gas, la minería y la agricultura. A pesar de estar clasificado como uno de los países más pobres de Sudamérica, Bolivia tiene una rica historia y cultura que continúan prosperando en la actualidad.
Water for All
Water for All chronicles how Bolivians democratized water access, focusing on the Cochabamba region, which is known for acute water scarcity and explosive water protests. Sarah T. Hines examines conflict and compromises over water from the 1870s to the 2010s, showing how communities of water users increased supply and extended distribution through collective labor and social struggle. Analyzing a wide variety of sources, from agrarian reform case records to oral history interviews, Hines investigates how water dispossession in the late nineteenth century and reclaimed water access in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries prompted, shaped, and strengthened popular and indigenous social movements. The struggle for democratic control over water culminated in the successful 2000 Water War, a decisive turning point for Bolivian politics. This story offers lessons for contemporary resource management and grassroots movements about how humans can build equitable, democratic, and sustainable resource systems in the Andes, Latin America, and beyond.
Vulnerabilidad y Resistencia Hidropolíticas en Aguas Internacionales
El agua es un recurso único, vital e insustituible. El desarrollo sostenible de este importante recurso en la región es complejo porque la distribución de agua entre las diversas naciones es heterogénea y existe el riesgo de un uso no equitativo. En los últimos años, el discurso sobre la sostenibilidad se ha ampliado hasta incluir los sistemas humanos. Esta publicación quiere garantizar una mayor divulgación de informaciones y datos con el fin de apoyar la elaboración de políticas informadas. Asimismo, quiere ser un modelo para las regiones que se enfrentan a retos similares con respecto al agua.

Out of the Mainstream
Water is not only a source of life and culture. It is also a source of power, conflicting interests and identity battles. Rights to materially access, culturally organize and politically control water resources are poorly understood by mainstream scientific approaches and hardly addressed by current normative frameworks. These issues become even more challenging when law and policy-makers and dominant power groups try to grasp, contain and handle them in multicultural societies. The struggles over the uses, meanings and appropriation of water are especially well-illustrated in Andean communities and local water systems of Peru, Chile, Ecuador, and Bolivia, as well as in Native American commu...
Water Governance: Retheorizing Politics
This republished Special Issue highlights recent and emergent concepts and approaches to water governance that re-centers the political in relation to water-related decision making, use, and management. To do so at once is to focus on diverse ontologies, meanings and values of water, and related contestations regarding its use, or its importance for livelihoods, identity, or place-making. Building on insights from science and technology studies, feminist, and postcolonial approaches, we engage broadly with the ways that water-related decision making is often depoliticized and evacuated of political content or meaning—and to what effect. Key themes that emerged from the contributions include the politics of water infrastructure and insecurity; participatory politics and multi-scalar governance dynamics; politics related to emergent technologies of water (bottled or packaged water, and water desalination); and Indigenous water governance.
