Water Security, Justice and the Politics of Water Rights in Peru and Bolivia
Environment, Politics and Social Change Series Editor: Kate Ervine, Assistant Professor, Saint Mary’s University, Canada The Environment, Politics and Social Change series aims to develop a distinctive dialogue that places politics first in analyses of contemporary ecological challenges, crises, and subsequent responses. It prioritizes the foundational concerns of a broadly defined political ecology approach – power, production, access, and justice – publishing works that deepen our understanding of the origins of complex socio-ecological problems in order to illuminate the terrain upon which strategies for social change must begin. It thus provides a space of critical engagement for academics, students, policy makers, practitioners, and civil society actors concerned with the project of developing sustainable and just futures.
