Societal polarisation and capitalist democracy
Societal polarisation is inherent to capitalist democracy, which is grounded on the reproduction of structural inequalities required by the workings of the capitalist system. The scope for the exercise of democratic rights, including the rights of academic freedom and autonomy is restricted and subordinated to capitalist interests, a dynamic exacerbated by the empowered rise of illiberal political projects, in particular those led by far-right ac…
Desastres, desigualdades, violências e processos de democratização
O artigo discute o significado da violência no surgimento, manutenção e erosão das ordens socioecológicas. Ele se concentra na interconexão entre a violência contra comunidades marginalizadas, afetadas pela rápida expansão de formas frequentemente criminosas de acumulação primitiva promovidas ou implementadas diretamente por governos e atores privados multinacionais, muitas vezes com o apoio tácito ou explícito de instituições internacionais cujo…
Solidaridades en confrontación, resistencias y órdenes sociales en tiempos de pandemia
La pandemia de COVID-19 encontró América Latina en un contexto político muy desfavorable para los sectores populares y las comunidades históricamente marginalizadas, especialmente afrodescendientes e indígenas. Con pocas excepciones, se verifica una expansión de políticas regresivas, autoritarias e incluso criminales en muchos de estos países, que han debilitado o incluso desmantelado los limitados sistemas de solidaridad social institucionalizad…

Os Desafios Da "Cidadania" Hídrica Na América Latina
A politização da água - denunciando as desigualdades de poder envolvidas nas situações de conflito e na gestão das fontes de água e dos serviços baseados no uso da água - emergiu também como resposta aos esforços de "comodificação" da água, ou seja, sua transformação em mercadoria ou commodity, através da privatização de empresas distribuidoras e de saneamento, da mercantilização das formas de operação das próprias empresas públicas, e de outras …

A Água (Ainda) Não É Uma Mercadoria
O artigo analisa a valorização e a mercantilização da água doce. Se um conceito restrito de mercantilização éaplicado, a maior parte da água do planeta permanece não mercantilizada devido ao caráter lento e fragmentado do processo de racionalização de controle da água e de sua gestão. Particularmente, o processo envolvido na valorização da água é fortemente afetado pela persistência de certos pressupostos, como de que a água (e a natureza de um m…
Uma Perspectiva Histórica Das Primeiras Políticas Públicas De Saneamento E De Recursos Hídricos No Brasil
O artigo objetiva oferecer uma visão histórica de fatores que induziram ou influenciaram as primeiras políticas públicas de saneamento e de recursos hídricos no Brasil. Um dos pressupostos adotados é o de que o desenvolvimento socioeconômico e político do país resultou não apenas de dinâmicas endógenas, mas também de estruturas globais de poder, desde os primórdios da empresa colonial. Para tanto, usa-se a linha teórica de intérpretes clássicos d…
La producción y reproducción de la desigualdad y la injusticia social estructural
El autor analiza de manera crítica los problemas que suscita en América Latina el proceso de mercantilización y privatización de los problemas del agua y del drenaje. Se refiere a experiencias históricas de uso privado del agua que terminaron en un gran fracaso y en situaciones críticas para la higiene y la salud de la población, como ocurrió en la Inglaterra del siglo XVIII. Propone, en cambio, estudiar la problemática que anuncian las presiones…

Water, Policy and Governance
This article offers an overall synthesis of the contents of a number of selected papers on water governance and policy presented at the 5th IWHA Conference 'Pasts and Futures of Water' that took place in Tampere, Finland, on 13-17 June 2007. Therefore, the authors do not intend to present here their own views on the topics covered, which they have described in more detail elsewhere, but rather seek to capture the key issues emerging from the broa…
Social Policies and Private Sector Participation in Water Supply
Neoliberal water and sanitation policies as a failed development strategy
This paper examines key aspects of the policies promoting the expansion of private multinational monopolies as the main tool to solve the problems affecting water and sanitation services in less developed countries. It is based on recent findings from research carried out on the impact of these policies in nine countries of Africa, Europe, and Latin America. The article argues that the main claims put forward to justify these policies, that priva…
Systemic Conditions Affecting the Universalisation of Water and Sanitation Services
The article examines current global trends in the expansion of water and sanitation services, and discusses the systemic conditions affecting their provision. It pays particular attention to structural social inequalities affecting the access to these services, and to the inertial forces unleashed by neoliberal reforms in water and sanitation, which will continue to have a negative effect on the project of universalisation of these services. The …
Poverty and citizenship
Water governance in the twentieth-first century
It is widely ackowledged that the world water crisis is mainly a crisis of governance. However, there is no shared understanding of what "governance" means, how it works, who are its actors. The prevailing conceptions of governance in mainstream water policy documents tend to be instrumental and idealistic. Perhaps the most important consequence of instrumental and idealistic understandings of governance is the rhetorical depoliticization of what…

Contested Waters
This chapter shifts the temporal focus from the long-term to concentrate on the struggle over water in the MCMA during the last two decades of the twentieth century. We examine around 2000 events of water conflict that were identified through the classification of press reports during the period 1985–92. 1 These events are actions performed by individuals, families, groups, and institutions, in connection with different problems arising from the …

Water, power, and citizenship
Water, Power and Citizenship investigates the intertwining of water politics and institutions and the development of citizenship rights from a historical-sociological perspective. The evolution of water's social character and values, as a source of power, as a public good, as a commodity, or as a universal right is examined in the light of ever changing and mutually binding social and ecological processes. The Basin of Mexico's rich water history…
Urban Water and the Politics of Citizenship
The author focuses on the interrelations between access to urban water services and citizenship rights, taking the case of Mexico City Metropolitan Area as the empirical reference. Recent research has shown that social struggles over the access to and improvement of water services have been an important component of Mexican public life during at least the last twenty years. The author argues that mainstream explanations of the water crises tend t…
