Informationen zum Autor JOSÉ ESTEBAN CASTRO is Professor of Sociology at Newcastle University. He was previously a Senior Research Associate at the School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford, and Lecturer in Development Studies at the Development Studies Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science. Klappentext Water, Power and Citizenship investigates the interrelationship between water politics and institutions and the development of citizenship rights from a historical-sociological perspective. The evolution of water's manifold 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 becomes the vantage point to cast light on one of the most crucial challenges facing the international community - that of eliminating water inequality and injustice.
