Los nuevos sujetos del agua
Este libro demuestra cómo a través de organizaciones de usuarios de riego y sus federaciones, los usuarios campesinos e indígenas de los Andes ecuatorianos han sido capaces de incidir sustancialmente en la gestión del agua y riego en el ámbito local, provincial y nacional. A través de su participación en redes multiactores, han podido establecer vínculos con otras organizaciones de base, las ONG y diferentes entes estatales con los cuales han creado sinergias y alianzas que les permiten acceder al agua y defender sus derechos. Más allá de los reclamos locales, las comunidades usuarias del agua han sido capaces de desarrollarse como un movimiento social en torno al agua. Este libro muestra, a través de estudios de caso, el contexto y los actores que han llevado a la consolidación de este movimiento del agua. Este ha permitido a los usuarios organizados convertirse en nuevos sujetos de la gestión del agua. El desarrollo y desempeño de estas organizaciones en base muestran importantes aprendizajes sobre cómo avanzar, desde las bases, en la construcción de formas de gestión del agua más inclusivas y democráticas.
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...
De la mediación a la movilización social
Se estudia los conflictos ocasionados por el acceso al agua entre sectores socioeconómicos desiguales: por un lado la clase poderosa y por el otro las comunidades rurales con poca influencia política o económica.
Hydrosocial Territories and Water Equity
Bringing together a multidisciplinary set of scholars and diverse case studies from across the globe, this book explores the management, governance, and understandings around water, a key element in the assemblage of hydrosocial territories. Hydrosocial territories are spatial configurations of people, institutions, water flows, hydraulic technology and the biophysical environment that revolve around the control of water. Territorial politics finds expression in encounters of diverse actors with divergent spatial and political–geographical interests; as a result, water (in)justice and (in)equity are embedded in these socio-ecological contexts. The territory-building projections and strateg...
Social Participation in Water Governance and Management
"Social participation in water management and governance recently became a reality in many economies and societies. Yet the dimensions in which power regulation, social equity and democracy-building are connected with participation have been only tangentially analyzed for the water sector. Understanding the growing interest in social participation involves appreciating the specificity of the contemporary period within its historic and geographic contexts as well as uncovering larger political, economic and cultural trends of recent decades which frame participatory actions. Within a wide variety of cases presented from around the world, the reader will find critical analyses of participation...
